Re: Kind of dumb Mahler question

When playing clarinet in big band settings, I will hold the clarinet up high so it's at the same playing angle as saxes, and also to direct the sound out front so it's being directed at the microphone instead of being drowned out by the other saxes - and when standing up I can read the music on the stand by looking down through the gap between the clarinet and my left arm, but not lowering my head to do so.

Likewise if I was playing Mahler on clarinet I'd do the same thing - though the only times I've ever played Mahler were on oboe/cor which is held out front with a similar playing angle as a sax anyway (standard posture in UK/Europe), and I play soprano sax at this same angle as well, and don't tilt my head back to do this - just lift the instrument to a higher playing angle.
