Subj: Re: [kl] "C" clarinet - Dan Leeson take note
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2003 08:29:46 -0500

A few weeks ago, we read through this symphony in a reading session in the Los Alamos Symphony
Orchestra. The librarian handed me a Bb part, and I complained loudly, saying I knew it was
supposed to be in C. Somewhat incredulously, she dug the C part out of the stack, and I played
the part on the proper instrument. I was thinking at the time that Dan Leeson would be proud.

This is by no means the first time I've used the C clarinet in the orchestra, though.
