Re: Orchestral seating position for Bass Clarinet

It would be interesting to count up the number of clarinet/bassoon duets in the (bass clarinet inclusive) orchestral literature to see whether it exceeds the number of times it is important for the bass and bassoon both to unify ensemble and judge relative balance. I think the result might be surprising. But, come to think of it, getting in time with the piccolo is sometimes very necessary, so that would be a disadvantage of moving (unless the pic sat next to the oboe as well).
