<< Hello all,
I recently began playing in a local youth orchestra. Today I received the
first piece of music in the mail. It is the Shostakovitch 9th symphony. I
just have one small question. At the top of the first page it says
"Clarinetto II in B e A." Does this mean that parts call for different
clarinets?
TIA,
Jay

--------Yes, you will have to switch between the Bb Clarinet and the A
Clarinet.
