Mark, if you publish the transposition for sale or even offer it gratis to other performers, I can easily see that it would be a copyright violation and sooner or later the copyright owner could find out. If you play the piece from the original but simply play it a half step higher (without a written transposition) on A clarinet, would there be a violation? If you quietly put a written out transposed version on your music stand (a) who would know and, since you presumably own a legal, purchased copy (from which you've made the transposition) (b) how would the copyright owner be damaged by your using a written transposition? Isn't proving monetary damage part of a claim of copyright infringement?
