On a related note, our recent discussion about treble-clef cello
notation, I started transcribing a new piece last week that has
passages of treble clef in the cello with 8va also! And it quite
clearly translates into playing the treble clef notation at pitch,
since the normal interpretation is an octave lower. The highest note
is top space E in treble clef, which seems pretty high to me for this
period (the edition dates from 1796) -- I've never before seen
anything that high for cello in my repertory. I wouldn't doubt that
this is not terribly high for solo repertory, but for the cello part
in a piano quartet, it strikes me as remarkable, in the sense of
"worthy of comment."
Treble clef in 8va, ie at pitch, is not unusual in the Boccherini
quintets. We will be playing one with such a passage next month.
