Re: Contra-Alto Clarinet parts

Thanks for the comments. (I've fixed the link to the Irish Trilogy, added a snip about playing bassoon parts, and added some new pieces to the list.)

I'll keep adding in pieces as I can. If anyone else has one to add on, let me know.

From my experience, contrabass clarinets parts are about as common as contra-alto parts. Personally, I like the contra-alto, feeling it's a little more useful in the band (the contrabass being more for special effects). But hey, the two instruments are really just a fourth apart... not a huge difference as band instruments go. If my contra-alto had a low D key, I'd probably rarely envy the contrabass. (I do often wish I had the low D.)
