Mahler 1, 4th clarinet

Author: elmo lewis

In the score at the beginning of mvt. IV the 4th cl. in Eb has written "mindestens doppelt besetzt" which seems to mean "at least doubled". ¿Has anyone actually played this doubled (or tripled)?

I haven't. It's enough that the Eefer and both piccs have trills together. I cant' imagine doubling it.

Is it possible it means the voice is doubled in another instrument other than another Eb clarinet? I've never heard of it being doubled on Eb clarinet. I don't have a score so I can't check it but you can. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com

The German term "mindestens doppelt besetzt" indeed means that at least two players should play this voice. The term does not refer to doubling in other voices.

Btw, the Mahler parts on IMSLP (http://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.1_(Mahler,_Gustav), Universal 1906, Kalmus reprint) do not have this.

Mahler seems to have had a penchant for a sh*tload of Eb clarinets. I really want to hear it this way now...
