Hi everyone,

I'm doing the above in the 2-clarinet version (vs.the
proper original, clarinet and basset horn, don't yet
have one alas!).

There's a funny misprint found in not one but two
editions (International and Peters) in the 2nd
clarinet part. At bar 53, where the 2 soloists start
the "Saints Go Marching In" cadenzas (check it out if
you don't know the piece!) the 2nd clarinet has not
been transposed...the pattern should be D-F#-G-A, not
the printed one starting on C. I personally like
taking these cadenzas down the octave to mimic the
basset horn range better.

Just in case anyone else has this piece in their near
future!
