No, I am saying that on one contest the main meaning is that any attendant
should have the same level of dificults and show their best with the same
conditions. It could be intepreted for the judges in several ways... The
chalenge is play and "realize" that concert on the way it were composed. How
would you work on the follow movments? You would change fo Bb clarinet on
the second one??? And them???
Do you realize play the Mozart Concerto on Bb clarinet with piano part
transposed on, for exemple, a symphony audition??? Or play the Stravinsky
solo pieces always in Bb or A on a high level recital??? For me it makes
diference.

All the best

Fernando

Are you saying the judges would frown on it and consider it cheating? Does
it
really matter though? Either way, it will require considerable time working
it up and I don't think any of the excitement would be lost...

Thanks for the other information too.. I think I'm only allowed to have 1
pianist in this competition though ;)
