Does anyone know how difficult the music is for clarinet for Oliver?

The bass clarinet 'Oliver' theme (in triplets and in 8ves with cor anglais) that crops up isn't particularly well written, I can't remember where it crops up but do give that solo/duet a fair going over.
I only know that as I was playing oboe/cor and the clarinettist was having some trouble getting around bass clarinet, so he played just the first note of each triplet while I played the second and third notes (on cor) which made for an interesting tonal change in the melody.

I just finished subbing in a run of Oliver. Not difficult at all in my opinion and we were working with just violin, flute/piccolo, clarinet/bass clarinet, trombone, and rhythm section. There were a few fast runs that needed some practice time, but not much.

I played Oliver last Nov. with a reduced Pit. The Clarinet book was a mix of Bb and Bass Cl. as stated above. From what I can recall most of the tricky runs for Bb had sharps - practice D, A & E major scales and arpeggios to prep. - mostly over "the break". Also, practice Ab major - I cant recall what part, but I vaguely remember a slightly tricky song that was in that key - upper clarion register.
Due to a violin issue, I had the opportunity to play the klezmeresq cadenzas in Reviewing the Situation - a LOT of fun!

Those cadenzas are really neat, awesome you got to play them.
The hardest part would probably be "Oom Pah Pah(Sp)". Its so mind-numbingly repitive, you have a hard time keeping track of whats what.

I transposed it from the violin book. I wouldn't think it was otherwise readily available.
