Regarding the earlier thread on the fairness of youth orchestras requiring
players to own A clarinets, I just found out that at our local youth
orch.auditions, if the student didn't have an A clarinet, then the
committee chose not to hear about half the material they all prepared,
ie.A clar.excerpts (Capriccio Espanol, Semiramide Ov.,Brahms 3). No
mistaking the A clarinet priority there!
