Eb transposition HELP

Author: musica
Date: 2009-09-07 18:13

I am playing Telemann piece (Grillen Symphonie TWV 50:1 in G) and it calls for
Bb cl, C Clarinet, or Chalumeau(Eb). The conductor would like it played on the
Eb. When I'm transposing is it down a 4th or up a 5th? I would assume down
a 4th would place it more in line with the chalumeau timbre? Although it gets
a little rough in the throat register...... Thanks for any help.

Yes, down a 4th, your F# is the concert A on the Eb clarinet, on the Bb clarinet you would play a B. Good luck with intonation though. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
