Thanks for the information about another work for my list of bass clarinet
in A parts. That brings it to sixty!

Regardless of cost sometimes it's just not feasible to have the right
instrument. I went to an orchestra rehearsal last week, ecstatic at the rare
chance to play bass clarinet for an entire symphony (Vianna da Motta's A'
Patria). When I=A0started to glance through the part during warm ups, howev=
er,
the ominous words "Em La" jumped out and shook me like a 7.5 earthquake.
It's not just a few passages, either -the entire work=A0is written for bass
clarinet in A; oddly, the soprano clarinets are in Bb for two of the
movements.

This is a transposition that I have simply never needed to practice and so
I'm now faced with either=A0trying to come up to speed very quickly or
plugging 12 pages of notes=A0into the computer. I've already started on the
latter (being a wimp, I guess)=A0which has the=A0side benefit of cleaning u=
p a
part that=A0is written in mediocre manuscript with the extra "bonus" of not
including the key signature at the start of each line.

Cheers,
Jordan

Why not just own a set of clarinets and play what is requested unless=A0 =

there is some over arching=A0 technical problem?=A0 A set of clarinets in=

A, Bb and C is no more expensive than an oboe and English horn.=A0 And=A0 =

we oboists use the oboe d'amore for Bach.
