RE: Key...

Thanks for the reply. The issue that bothers me the most (I am new to writing music with wind instruments) is when a piece is written in F say on a Bb clarinet, and I would like accompanyment on a piano, then I would like to ensure the piece is not a nightmare to transpose on the piano to suit the tone F on the clarinet. As many may aggree, once something is written in a particular key, changing it can be to the detriment of the music, imagine Beethoven's 14th Sonata (Moonlight) in anything other than C sharp (Minor)?

Are there any suggestions when composing (playing around) on a clarinet in general when taking other musicians into account. Such as: if I was to play something on the clarinet in G should I regard it as being in F for all intents and purposes?

Many thanks
J
