Re: Instruments in Ravel's Bolero

Ed,

Ravel actually scored the "soprano" sax solo for sopranino sax with the tenor sax player jumping in and playing the last few bars, where it goes below the sopranino's range, on soprano. Given the scarcity of sopranino saxes in orchestras (even more rare than C clarinets, I'd wager

), most saxophonists probably play the entire solo on soprano (transposing or reading the tenor sax solo).

Best regards,
jnk
