That's how I learned to transpose back in 1967. I was copyist for
Rutgers
University Wind Ensemble (not much, but it paid my expenses). We
were doing
the Berlioz Funeral & Triumphal Symphony for winds & chorus. The
horns were
transposed into umpty jillion keys depending on which crooks were
required,
and I had to transpose that mess for F horns ... plus I was working
with a
shiny wet-copy sent from Paris of the nigh-illegible full score
with the
old-style reverse-eighth-rest quarter rests. Copying in India ink
(or whatever
that scratch-off ink was) onto transparencies. I never learned to love
transposition.

And ... I remain intrigued that some folks who accept and practice,
with absolute fidelity, the concepts of, say, feng shui and
pyramids, should find the task of extending their leaps of faith to
include an existent God so arduous.
