The clarinet parts are just pretty much the same in the show as in the
movie, April! There are plenty of solos, with lots of embellishments, in
funny keys. But they really aren't as bad as they sound. Give it a go! And
buy the original cast recording with Zero Mostel to play along with. Good
luck to you!

You know, it's a coincidence April brought this up, because I was wandering
if there is a band arrangement to the big clarinet solo at the wedding
scene? It's so fun, but very difficult to transcribe from the CD! Who
publishes a good Fiddler medley?
