Hello, everyone.

I play with amateur groups that have piano cello and sometimes violin plus me. There's not as much written for clarinet in chamber pieces in the 18th and 19th Century as we all might like, and we might just like to play pieces not originally written for our instrument. (Plus pieces written for the A clarinet, not the B Flat, for those of us who only have the B Flat).

Matt, I'm in somewhat the same position so I bought an Amati C clarinet. Solves various problems.
Reading viola parts on Bb clarinet is easy if you read bass clef. Just pretend the part is in Bass clef and add 2 sharps to the key signature (or knock off two flats as appropriate. For anything else I scan the part using Smartscore and let it transpose for me.
