It sounds as if you are trying to find a way/reason to fire a player.

Subject: [kl] Difficult orchestra repertory for Bb

Cross-posted on the Bulletin Board....

For a (fictional) scene set in 1916, I need advice on what orchestral piece
would be extremely difficult for the first clarinet in a major, professional

orchestra. Here's the tricky bit: For reasons that would take too long to
explain here, this music written before 1916 has to be for Bb
clarinet--originally scored for the Bb, not for clarinet in A but not old
enough to have been written for basset clarinet.

A big, splashy, late 19th century piece would be perfect if it's got an
exposed solo for Bb clarinet. I'd like something fiendish, the type of thing

where, if there's anything wrong with the clarinet, the first chair player
is in Godzilla-sized trouble. Thanks very much for any suggestions!
