Re: Facade bass clarinet

The problem here is less the notes and more the insanely fast changes. In places, you need to be playing the bass while it's in its stand already in order to have enough time to switch to/from a soprano instrument. No. 20 is the worst, where you have one bar rest to get from bass to clarinet in A (where, for good measure, you realise the previous number used clarinet in Bb, so there's an excellent chance of picking up the A and finding no reed to blow...). A clarinettist must have annoyed Walton at some point.
