It was brought to my attention that the E-flat clarinet part in Daphnis et
Chloe is in B Major or something. A friend of mine transposed this to a D
clarinet to make it easier for them. When I asked why (making sure to
mention the specific timbre, color, and tone quality that each clarinet
posesses:) ) they replied that it was common practice. Is this so? I am
interested because it is going to be the next piece I learn for eefer.

Thanks,
Ryan Lowe
