Hi, I haven't done much research on the last three planets, which my orchestra is playing, and I have the opportunity to play the 1st clarinet part on 2 out of the three planets and the 2nd part on the other.
Any suggestions which two I should play? (Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) Thanks!

If I were choosing, I'd pick Uranus and Neptune. Both of those have solos for the 1st clarinet.
Saturn is nice music, of course, but neither clarinet part is particularly interesting, and 1st and 2nd play together as a pair pretty much the whole time, so playing 1st on Saturn isn't really any different than playing 2nd.

Those are just dwarf planets....more suitable for a chamber ensemble, I think.

I'd go for Uranus, and announce the selection aloud from the stage. [Evil grin.] As Crow T. Robot helpfully explains on MST3K, "Uranus: Always a problem, no matter how you pronounce it."
I'd love to see what a non-musician would make of this thread.
