Subj: [kl] Basset horn vs alto clarinet
Date: Sun, 24 Dec 2006 18:06:32 -0500

Last spring I played the earlier scoring of the Stravinsky Symphony for
Winds and the Requiem, on a Selmer basset horn rented from a list
member. The part in the Stravinsky was marked alto clarinet in F. I've
never heard of such a beast. Much of the part is duets with the alto
flute, so the warmth of the bassett horn seemed an excellent fit.
