Not necessarily. Several years ago I purchased a copy of a "professionally"
transposed and copied bass clarinet part for Rach II from Emily Bernstein who
at that time I believe was playing bass with the Pacific Symphony in Orange
County, California. I asked her why she had the part transposed, wasn't she
a pro? She replied that's why she had the part transposed. Pros aren't
allowed the luxury of making one or two "little" mistakes transposing down a
9th! Pros do whatever it takes to ensure as close to "perfection" in a
performance as possible. And don't even think about the cost of recording
studio time.
