I just learned this afternoon that there’s a spot on the last concert for one of my recent pieces to be performed, a trio for piccolo trumpet, violin and contrabass. Except, that particular concert doesn’t actually have a string contrabass but it does have a contrabass clarinet. So I’m in the process now of transcribing and revising the piece for new instruments, which I think is what I wanted to do all along. In anticipation, I thought I’d share what came up when I googled “contrabass clarinet.”
