Many of you may be familiar with Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 Prelude famously played by Mischa Maisky on Youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6yuR8efotI
It is a very, very beautiful piece which I have spent all of Christmas Eve searching for a clarinet arrangement for it. Well, I didn't find one.
However I made one!... or two.
Using this free online software called Noteflight I managed to make the original key version, which had to be transposed up a couple of octaves.

For those of you who want the piece as low as possible, here is the piece in Concert A Major (transposed up from Concert G major, the original key).

If anyone has a clarinet that can play down to a low D (D3), I'd be happy to adjust it to a lower octave, original-key version for you. Just let me know!
Free sheet music for everyone!
Hopefully I timed this post so that no one will see until Christmas morning...
I'm eager to hear how you all celebrated

I'm playing the Sarabande from the first cello suite as an encore on New Year's eve this year --if my ability to work the captive audience properly.
That involves serving margaritas and chocolate in just the right quantities and timing everything perfectly.
Oh, and wrt timing. I am playing through the program 3x each day, but still fiddling with the articulations in the Fifth variation of the Bella Kovacs Hommage a C.M. von Weber.
Off to work I go!

I went to Noteflight, registered, and still can't download the music. I hate to take a screen shot, load into PaintShop, crop, print, ...
SIGH

From the number of sharps involved, I think I'm going to try this on my A clarinet.
I need some practice transposing, anyway.
Thank you!

To print, you use the File>Print menu on the Noteflight page, not your browser's menu bar.
Doh!
Thanks, oca

Haha No problem
Tell me how you play C# to B or the register jumps legato, they are getting me... maybe its my clarinet's fault.
Merry Christmas Bob!

>> and for those who don't like keys with lots of sharps and flats <<
It's especially important to avoid keys with sharp notes if you have a baby around...

I got 10 boxes of Grand Concert reeds. If you read the small print it says these reeds may contain assorted poisons such as rat poison.

Your last comment ^^ said so little yet so much at the same time. I never had such a good laugh. And Bob, is that true?
