Couple of things... a) I don't want to be the foolhardy composer who ever writes such trills and, b) one of the reasons I've taken up clarinet is to become more intimately familiar with the instrument so that I can write more effectively for it. There are other reasons for my taking up clarinets again at 45... I love the sound and I find the bass particularly relaxing to play and improvise on (even though my tone needs a lot of work, and thoughts of Grabner endorsements ping in my brain constantly ). But another driving force is my orchestration and scoring work; I want to incorporate a certain degree of live instrument recordings when I do my (otherwise entirely) sample/MIDI-based orchestral realizations. I can, if you'll pardon the pun, squeak by with my soprano playing, and on my last film score I recorded a few fairly easy parts using the real thing instead of samples. It helps to breathe life into my realizations. Now I want to add bass clarinet to the roster of instruments I can play well enough to record live parts in lieu of samples. And if I can eventually find a cheap bassoon, that's next on the list, maybe with one of those mouthpiece retrofits... In any event, thanks for all of the advice and information.
