Yesterday I pretty much got the bassoon part complete, always allowing for further tweaks and other modifications. I made but a start with the clarinet part. As I noted in yesterday’s post, today’s PT will put me on the bench (the simile relates to sport and not to jurisprudence) for the day. That did not stop me, however, from putting my as-yet-untaxed brain to musical work on Dark Side of the Sun this morning. Thus have I brought the clarinet part up to measure 72. I took advantage of this operation to cure truly an egregious error in my original: in one point of imitation, I failed to notice that I had assigned an impossible written low B to the Alto Flute. In our first read-through, I allowed Peter to raise it an octave. Reassigning that phrase to the clarinet, though, solves the problem of that note, and I re-wrote the Alto Flute in those measures.
See you Saturday!
