We played it last year and it was the first piece I ever played on my
borrowed Eb clarinet. Tuning was an absolute disaster, but it turned out
alright in the end!! This term we are playing Malcolm Arnold's Four Cornish
Dances and the Eb part goes up to top A, as in the one above the one above
the stave!! Any tips for tuning would be much appreciated!!!
