 Brahms Symphony #3
Author: GBK 
Date:   2008-04-14 16:49

Later in the year I will finally get a chance to perform Brahms #3, one of my all time favorite symphonies and am wondering whether to start the 1st movement playing it transposed on the A clarinet.

The short clarinet exposed passage at measure 26 certainly lies a bit nicer on the A clarinet, and the famous solo at measure 35 (key change 9/4 time) is already written for clarinet in A.

If one starts the piece on Bb clarinet, the switch before measure 35 is only 3 measures to a cold A clarinet, coming in on a written throat G.

Anyone play the symphony recently?
