 Re: Highest note in bass clarinet reperatoire.

In my 50 years in the Baltimore Sympony the highest I recall having to play was a high A, A# and even a B in some contemporay piece. As far as the standard orchestral pieces I do believe I've encounter several Gs in my day, Strauss Der Rosenkavalier first Waltz Sequence has Gs. At the end of that there's even a few As and a B. The reason for that is because when strauss transcribed the Suites and Waltzes he transposed the oringal Basest Horn parts to the bass clarinet. The orignail opera has both instruments on one part. So I'd say up to a high G is absolutly neccessary to have in your comand and at least knowing how to go up to a B is helpful. I have a fingering chart on my webpage if you want to look at it but keep in mind, all the fingerings don't work well on different models and makes but at least it's a free source to get started.
