Subj: RE: [kl] New pieces for basset-horn

true, but for the record: the horn part in this
Soliva Concertante is in Eb - I suppose one could also
play it on alto clarinet or alto saxophone.

I was sharing it in the context of an earlier
discussion about newly or soon to be published music
with basset horn that had been arranged/transposed
from (i think) cello parts.

It's freely downloadable music, so why not try it to
see if it works? I will. Oh, and by the way, there's
a clarinet part too.
