That, too, seems to me to be part of the arsenal of the professional
player. After I bought Dan's C clarinet, we played Tchaikovsky
"Mozartiana". The variation movement is for clarinet in C, and the
cadenza is much easier on that instrument. For a "talk & squawk" concert
we were doing excerpts of the Tchaikovsky, and the variation movement was
cut. When I showed up at the concert, it had been reinstated. Thank
goodness for years of practicing that transposition! >>

My original point was the necessity of knowing all the transpositions.

You can't show up at EVERY rehearsal with your Bb, A, Eb, D, C, Bb Bass and A
bass.
