Re: Transposition preferences? - question to clarinet players from a composer

It's hard to ask a composer to transpose a piece- he might have designed some effects to make use of very specific parts of instruments' ranges that would be queered by shifting the whole thing up or down (like, suddenly the harp part might be impossible). Having said that, I totally agree that a lot of composers today seem to put things in awkward keys almost as window dressing for the score. There's even a post on composer Kyle Gann's site about how he advised a student to shift a piece from C major to C# major for a competition because the judges wouldn't take C major seriously.
