Every time I've played the Schumann or Schubert symphonies, the parts were 1st-Alto Clef, 2nd-Tenor Clef, and 3rd-Bass Clef. The copies I have at home of these parts are all like that. The score might lump the first 2 parts in 1 clef for space-saving or to suggest some kind of group-treatment, but that's just my speculation.

Trombones (alto, tenor, bass) on two staves: A and T on one, in the alto clef, and bass on the other, in bass clef. When I extract the parts, should the tenor trombone part be: 1) in the alto clef, because that's what it is in the score. 2) in the tenor clef, because that's the norm for 19th-c. tenor trombone parts. 3) in bass clef, because that's what's usual today. NOTE: I am trying to be "authentic" here, so, e.g., the clarinets are getting parts for cl. in C, as per the score. >> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
