 Re: Transposition: Is Violating the Composer's Intentions Justifiable?

I recall reading a funny story about this once, and perhaps someone can fill in the rest of the details.

A famous conductor was rehearsing with a major orchestra, and he stopped the rehearsal to speak to the first clarinet. He asked the musician why he was using a B-flat since the part was written for an A. The clarinet player mentioned that it was easier on the B-flat, but the conductor responded that he wanted it played on the A.

The clarinet player proceeded to make a big show of switching clarinets, but he really continued to play on his B-flat. "That's much better," said the conductor, "that's how it's supposed to sound!"
