Doug,

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for coming. I did transpose all the
parts I played. I was surprised to see that the versions most of us have
played - 2 cl/bn is in the wrong key! What is usually done is transpose
from the original key of F to Bb - transposing the clarinets UP and the
Bassoon down. The clarinets are then playing the same written parts as the
first two BHs do when they play in a trio. So, for this show, I transposed
all my stuff back down to F.

Those of you on the other side of the country have a chance to hear me play
the Mozart concerto again - hopefully on a Basset Clarinet this time, on
March 10th in Hickory, NC with the Western Piedmont Symphony Orchestra.

Cheers,

Sean
