Re: playing B-flat parts on E-flat and vice versa?

I found that the Eefer parts are more often with the flutes and composers like Sousa used the Eefer to beef up the sound of the flutes. In high school I got good at sight transposing the flute parts on the Eefer. Start with a few marches as the flutes generally have the high melody line and just go from there. It will be a good mental exercise if nothing else.

The Eefer has a different personality than a Beefer. It is definitely more in your face. It sort of adds spice or pepper to a clarinet section as it's brighter. It does a great job with wild Klezmer-like parts too. Given the choice I would always play Eefer or Beefer. Often times more fun parts!
