Subj: Re: [kl] Bartok Contrasts - To Bb or Not to Bb
Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2002 08:31:24 -0400

It's a Boosey & Hawkes edition. Since they sent two
parts, I just wasn't sure which was recommended,
required, preferred or whatever. After reviewing the
parts again, it does look like BOTH parts are showing
the 3rd mvmt in Bb. From what I gather from the
posts, the first two mvmts should be performed on A?
