Re: Question re. Section Principal

In most professional orchestras, the Principal clarinetist usually plays the "first" parts--that is what they are hired and payed more per service to do. However, I was once assigned the first part in Rhapsody in Blue as our orchestra's principal couldn't do the slur. Sometimes, who plays what is also determined by ability.........

(btw, for playing RnB, I got the principals $$'s for those two concerts :>)
