Wol,
The bit about trombones in bass and Bb treble; I've only ever heard of
Bb treble clef trombone in British brass band music. What is the
"American bass part" in Bb? I've never heard of such a thing. I know
that Richard Strauß wrote tenor tuba parts in Bb bass clef.
I only remember me hitting it with one piece, but I got the vibes (on
this list, iirc) that that this may be rare but certainly not unheard of.
This piece was printed with NO KEY SIGNATURE, and a bass clef part that
had been transposed. Boy did it cause hell until we realised what was
going on!!!
Cheers,
Wol
