Have you ever played "La Fiesta Mexicana"? The bass clar part has a page
and a half of, I think, F1- E1, two counts each, 3/4 time, over and over.
Uncountable. Luckily the Bb clars have a very obvious change two beats
before the end of the section, so you don't wind up completely lost --
unless you went to sleep. <g>
