![]() ![]() Fortunately, a clarinet player is available. Suppose we have an oboe part, but no oboe player. For example, maybe a saxophone will play a French horn part. And sometimes we compensate for missing instruments by substituting others. If the player isn't used to "sight-transposing" we'll need to transpose the part. ![]() We often have parts for A clarinet instead of B-flat clarinet, and for C trumpet instead of B-flat trumpet. That is, we must transpose the flute part. (So we call the flute a "concert-pitch" instrument.) On the other hand, when a clarinet plays C we hear a B-flat! This means that if we want a clarinet to play a flute part, we must write pitches that are higher by just the right amount. For example, when a flute plays a C we really hear a C. Not all instruments refer to the same pitch with the same names. For flats (the keys you find moving counterclockwise), you can read the same mnemonic backwards: Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles Father.Examples: A to Bb clarinet | F horn to saxophones | E horn to alto sax Introduction.So if E major has 4 sharps, the notes that are sharp are the notes that correspond to the first 4 words in your mnemonic device. The first letter of each word corresponds to a note. For sharps (the keys you find moving clockwise), remember the phrase Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle. ![]() To work out which notes should be sharp or flat, you can use a mnemonic device.From the circle of fifths you can see that your new key signature is E major. You transposed the music to E flat by moving the notes down a minor third. For example, suppose your concert pitch music was in G. The circle of fifths will tell you which sharps and flats you need.Mark these on your staff paper next to the treble clef. Check your new key signature on your circle of fifths to figure out which notes should be sharp or flat. Mark your new key signature on your staff paper. ![]()
