Transposed orchestral parts

richtom · 09-16-2005, 11:06 PM

Manny, I wonder if you have ever run into this.
Last night at orchestra rehearsal, Both Tchaikovsky's 5th and the overture to The Magic Flute were transposed for a Bb trumpet. We had the "originals" in the folder, too. These were not handwritten parts and were both actually published by same publisher.
Hate to admit it, but I used the Bb on both, even though the 5th lies easier on the C.
Thanks,
Rich Tomasek

PS. Do you remember what the number on McHale's PT boat was?

I don't know the answer to your first question, but here is the answer to your second:

-BP

We play editions that have the Bb transposition occasionally but never use them. They usually don't look as clear or as nice as the original.

Trivia:

How did the crew of PT 73 refer to Captain Binghamton?
