So we need to transpose our oboe part for clarinet. 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. Examples: A to Bb clarinet | F horn to saxophones | E horn to alto sax Introduction
