I like Ed's original post. With modern composers and the historical 1s he mentioned, you have to be GOOD on bass to make those parts sound. Another reason I didn't want to play bass in high school is because I didn't want to be bored. I'm sure parts on a high school level have changed in the last 40 years. The reason I posted this thread is because the bass clarinet parts in college were challenging. I really feel that those parts and contemporary music prepared me for orchestral auditions on bass clarinet. I had a hard nosed band director (college) that demanded excellence from us and that required that I master the instrument (bass clarinet). Once my studies were done, I felt proficient on bass clarinet. We played grade 4 and 5 music and music that was on a collegiate level. So that made me good on bass clarinet.
