 Re: Stepping Back: 2nd, Bass, or Alto/Contra-Alto??

Thank you all for your input and guidance. Your advice has been very helpful!

Ultimately, I decided to go with 2nd clarinet, with the caveat that I may need to revisit my decision after the first concert of the year.

This was based on the needs of the group (i.e., we already have two fine bass clarinet players), the availability of parts (alto clarinet parts are becoming more scarce in the literature this group plays frequently), and trying to stay true to actually simplifying my musical preparation (i.e., I became intimidated by the potential transposition and part juggling needed to ensure that there's a contra alto part for me to play!)

I'll give this a try and go from there. If I still need to step back further, I think I'll be making a pitch to move to alto clarinet for the Holiday concert!

Thank you all once again! I'll let you know how this goes.
