Sorry. Same question again, but this time about the Rite. Anyone got any comments on this part? I would imagine it is very tricky and very high. All comments welcome.

Bring your D clarinet along with your Eb clarinet. ![[wink]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smilie3.gif)
Or, have your transposition skills up to par.
There are passages for both clarinets...GBK

GBK is very much on the ball with this one ... difficult stuff to play, too. High and fast with heaps of (not so modern anymore) cross rhythms and unusual time signatures. The opening, however is beautiful ... birdsong in progress. Enjoy
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

Transpose the D part down a semitone, and watch for the solo with bass clt best to use overblown 'no-fingers' G for the high D in the solo, especially the grace notes Enjoy.

The solo together with bass clt comes one more time together with alto flute (with one of the grace notes at another place). Intonation is usually different so check the solos beforehand together with the both players.
If you have a D-clarinet, bring it. There are three small solos in the beginning for D clt. It's something about the timbre of the D clt that I find more pleasant in the beginning. I've tried both and prefer that sound before the Eb sound because it sounds more like a high Bb clt sound. There is no other reason than timbre why he wrote the beginning for D clt because it's not at all technically difficult. For the rest it's just old fashioned practicing.
The first time I played this part, the conductor Sixten Ehrling (his 50th performance of the piece) asked me not to play so loud in the last page. I was very proud, I didn't even know I could play that loud!
