>> I think he was demonstrating his inexperience with reading a full score. The multiple measures of rest weren't shown in the score because publishers economize by dropping the staves of instruments that don't play through a whole system.>>

Indeed they do; but that wouldn't put Bb and A clarinet parts adjacent to each other, which is what's required to perceive an 'impossible' change.

I agree – but I find this particular example incomprehensible. Perhaps it's me who is suffering from failure of the imagination, though...

...I remember listening to a presentation by a teacher at a CASS conference who said she had a young student whose problem was that he couldn't remember which hand went above which on the clarinet. "He must play pretty terribly then," I commented.

"No, he's really quite good," she said.

I still can't get my head round it.
