Re: Holding Clarinets up

Ed, you're right about Mahler's 1st, I was just pointing out that the "Schalltrichter auf" instruction is there during some of the bass clarinet passages as well. Which has caused me to wonder exactly how one does that with a bass clarinet?

I read somewhere it was probably just the result of a copyist's error, he saw the soprano clarinets doing it and figured it should be written the same for the bass clarinet (perhaps analogous to the annoying existence of parts for bass clarinet in "A", an instrument which for all practical purposes doesn't exist).
