The difference is, as I explained (for the umpteenth time) in another post, that the use of bass clef is simply not obsolete. It is absolutely current in the areas where it has been traditional.On 2002/10/12 10:09 PM or thereabouts, Andrew Stiller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> intoned:In this case, then, the bass clef is not non-standard, since any professional bass clarinettist must have a mastery of that clef, since numerous German works from the standard repertoire are so notated.Well, yes, but numerous works from the standard rep also notate the horns up a fourth when in bass clef (instead of down a fifth). Surely you would not recommend either of these practices to a contemporary composer or arranger. - Darcy
But aside from that, we were talking about the term "non-standard", and you provided a definition whereby, indeed, the old horn notation is not non-standard. If that doesn't satisfy you, then you need to refine your definition.
NB: I am going on a brief vacation, so any reply to this post will not be received until Thursday.
