 Re: Strauss Oboe Concerto cl part transposed at BSO?

This has become an interesting posting, far beyond the question of should you or should you not play a passage on and A or Bb clarinet when it is written for the opposite instrument.
I believe that is an entirely different question than should one use a period instrument when playing "older" music or using a German model instrument when playing Beethoven or Brahms. As a practical matter the vast majority of orchestra players just don't have the desire to do that. There are several times that our trumpet section uses trumpets without valves because many years ago one of our conductors wanted the orchestra to own a set and bought them for the orchestra. And I remember years ago we had a bassoon player that tried performing all French music on a French bassoon, it was interesting to say the least. The conductor at the time was impressed until he got his fingerings confused at times. I'm not going to question the validity of playing such instruments in todays orchestra's only the practicality of it in our modern orchestra's. But that's a whole different question that was asked in the original posting and I stick with my opinion that no one really notices when an orchestra player switches clarinets to make a passage "more playable" or desirable for them.
