Scott Morrow asked how one can tell whether a composer MEANS C clarinet.
Does anybody have an opinion on Martinu's trio (Oboe Clar Bassoon). The part
is for C clarinet. The lowest note is written Eb and oddly enough that is
the lowest note on my C, so I can handle it better that way than
transposing. But I've heard it said that Martinu didn't intend the C. Nick
