As a matter of fact, just after I posed the question, I sent a PDF of the Cl. part to him and asked the same questions. Haven't heard back from him yet ... and I need to move ahead with this score to meet a deadline ... Thanks, Dean On Jul 31, 2010, at 3:14 AM, Richard Warnock wrote:

I would expect professional and very good amateur clarinetists to have no trouble with rapid tonguing. Since you seem to know who the players are why don't you ask them? Richard Warnock On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 10:36 AM, Dean M. Estabrook wrote: > Ok ... thanks Ryan gives me something to go
