 May be I am crazy or just old

About 30+ years ago I played with my b flat clarinet Andante from Mozart's Piano Sonata 16. A helpful person on this page told me how to find the transposed piece for clarinet.But I recalled it in a lower octive. I do not remember the really high notes. Am I crazy, or could there be another version of this in like a lower octive range. For example it begins in mid C#, and I seem to remember it starting in a low C#. But then again old age can cloud memories. But somehow I remeber playing it in 10th grade in the lower key.

Why not transpose the affected passages down an octave if you find them uncomfortable, it's not a difficult transposition.

Arrangements are just that, re-workings of pieces for other instruments. Any number of different arrangements of the piece could exist and they could very well be in different keys.


As Mr. Smale suggests, just moving it down an octave would be the simplest solution to the printed music you have.

Are you crazy? All musicians are crazy, that is a given and society understands our place in it. Who in their right mind would spend hours upon hours starting in early childhood and lasting into your senior years alone, in isolation practicing the same long tone, scales, arpeggios, and other forms of torture that we inflict on ourselves, and family members. Is it the vast wealth we will earn or will it gain us entrance into the most elite private clubs in the country? Is your bank willing to loan you money because of your ability to play Flight Of the Bumblebee flawlessly? I think not. You can also just be old, or old and crazy. If someone owns an instrument and is not crazy, they truly are not a musician. When lawyers practice law, or doctors practice medicine they are very well paid for practicing. When musicians practice music it can make dogs howl, and sane people nearby scream at us, and we do not make one penny doing so. We are a very strange breed.

Yup, W, only a crazy musician would shelp $5000 dollars worth of equipment, 50 miles (or more) and play for three hours for $35. But.....I do love being crazy.........

I have it somewhere - it does start on the space C#.

Not low.


Taught it about 30 years ago. Fisher is the publisher I think
