Subj: [kl] Basset horn vs. Alto Clarinet
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:55:53 -0500

Just a quick question...

With any modern clarinet music, mostly ensemble works, why would a
composer decide to write in a basset horn and not an alto clarinet or
vise versa?
I have my thoughts on the matter, but would like to hear from the
masses on this.

Thanks

Edward Escobar
