<< Normally I would have used my C and A clarinets
for the Schubert, and my Bb for the Rossini and the Kessler. However,
because the Clarinet II parts are neither that demanding, nor that high in
pitch, and because the conductor will probably not notice that I've
switched
horns, I've decided to play the parts on my Bb bass clarinet (I can't
afford
an alto).

This confuses me..... why would you play a second clarinet part on the bass
clarinet? The bass clarinet has a completely different timbre, does it not?
