Subj: low B in bass cl.part
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 1997 20:21:01 -0500

I just wanted to highlight a question buried in my last post about low
extension bass clarinets; I recently saw a part that seemed to call for a
low B, under the 2nd ledger line of the bass clef (looks like a low G in
treble clef). Is there such a note, even on extended bass clarinets? It
wasn't just one B, either, and you had to play around this pitch (I don't
think a paper towel liner-as-extension would work. It was a piece called
"Air" by Ivana Loudova, written for Josef Horak.

Thanks,
