"Molly on the Shore" is a true workout for the 1st clarinet, but I don't
really
think of it as a clarinet "section" feature.

However, Leroy Anderson's "Fiddle Faddle" is one that really needs the whole
clarinet section.

Actually, it does feature the entire section. I have played Eb, first,
second, fourth, alto, and bass on Molly, and they all have lots of stuff to
do....you would be surprised at what an awesome part the alto has! And what a pain
the second part is, with all that break-crossing, like the last mvt of the
"Four Scottish Dances".
