Subj: [kl] Brahms Clarinet Quintet *in C minor*
Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:37:48 -0500

I am playing the Brahms Quintet in an upcoming concert.
The violist in my group owns a set of string parts that is transposed
up a semitone into C minor, the rationale being the piece is less
beastly for the strings in C minor than B minor. The clarinetist plays
the same clarinet part (same printed notes) but on Bb clarinet.
The arrangement is by a P.X. Laube, copyright 1942 by Cundy-Bettoney.
