[Trombone-l] Dvorak Violin Concerto - trombone 2 part in tenor orbass clef? - really Cello Concerto

[Bruce Guttman]

I had an associate who didn't read alto clef either.  He had a neat trick
to deal with these parts.

He'd make a copy of the part.

Draw a line below the staff

White-out the top line of the original staff.

Now it's tenor clef.  Pure and simple.

Thanks Dave.

I messed up on this.  Quickly reading "Concert für Violoncell." at the 
top of the part caused me to search for the Violin Concerto.  Steve 
Gamble wrote me off list to get me corrected.  I needed the CELLO 
CONCERTO part transposed.

I've called Luck's, spent $4 for the transposed part and we'll see what 
shows up in the mailbox next week.  It is Dvorak, Op. 104, but the five 
digit number at the bottom of the part did not match up with anything 
the nice lady on the phone had.

This list is GREAT!

Doug
