No. In the 1st clarinet part, the1st mvt is for Bb, 2nd mvt is for A, 3rd
mvt is for Bb, 4th mvt is for C, 5th mvt is for Eb. In the 2nd clarinet
part, the 5th mvt is for C. Although the 4th and 5th mvts are for C clar,
they're not too bad to transpose - I played 2nd on it last year and there
was 1 phrase of about 8 bars that I had to write out, the rest was fine.
It's not often played here, though our local professional orchestra has just
programmed it in the same concert as The Sorcerer's Apprentice - a bit much
to do on one week's rehearsal, I think!
