this happens in dutch symphonic wind music a lot as well. the trombone
parts are supplied in Bb treble-clef (transposed), Bb bass-clef
(transposed) and C bass-clef (concert pitch). i've only ever seen it
in dutch published music, i'm not sure exactly where it comes from,
but it's horribly confusing when the librarian doesn't know the
difference... ;)
That's good to know - I'll mention it in passing ...
a useful fact for Bb transposing instruments usually notated in bass
clef (trombones, euphonia, etc.) is that the treble-clef transposed
part can be read almost exactly as if it were notated in concert-pitch
tenor-clef (add 2 flats and pay careful attention to the accidentals).
fairly random piece of information, but it helps me whenever i run
across treble-clef b-flat parts.
Yes - I use that trick a bit ... I prefer to try and read tenor clef as
tenor because it makes the accidentals easier, but I see it pretty
rarely so I usually start thinking treble and then switch as I get into
it.
You can pull the same trick with Eb parts too - if the music is written
in Eb, add three flats to the key signature and read it as if it were
bass clef.
Cheers,
Wol
(who reads four clefs, treble in Bb, bass, tenor and treble in concert
:-)
