Re: Solos for Clarinet in A

And if you're doing Dvorak's 9th, play it all on A as there's absolutely no need to use a Bb in the 2nd movement at all.

It's in A-B-A form and apart from the opening chords, it changes to Bb clarinet in the A sections. So instead of all that hassle and risking playing on cold clarinets, just change the key signature in the A sections from the printed three flats to four sharps (the notes remain in their same positions) and play the B section (in Concert C#m) exactly as written.
