>Sincerely, Gerald Corey, Ottawa, CanadaI don't really have more information on it. The question arose on
the sarrusophone list (sarrusophone@onelist.com), because nobody knew
if the part came transposed, or if there was a Bb version for it.
Somebody speculated that it could be played on the C melody, reading
straight from the heckelphone part, as long as it didn't descend to
low A (it doesn't). However, it turns out that the work is published
with both C (heckelphone) and Bb (tenor sax) parts. Frankly, I'm
considering trying it out on the Bb tenor sarrusophone - halfway
between heckelphone and sax, no? :-)Grant

Reply-To: contrabass@contrabass.comHi Grant, I am sure that Paul Hindemith if he were still around would be
fascinated by your performance of his Trio Heckelphone part w. a
Sarrusaphone of any variety! Good on you. Cheers, Gerald--
