OK, I'll bite. 19th-c. orchl. piece. Only the score survives, in
copyist's hand. Trombones (alto, tenor, bass) on two staves: A and T
on one, in the alto clef, and bass on the other, in bass clef. When I
extract the parts, should the tenor trombone part be:
1) in the alto clef, because that's what it is in the score.
2) in the tenor clef, because that's the norm for 19th-c. tenor
trombone parts.
3) in bass clef, because that's what's usual today.
NOTE: I am trying to be "authentic" here, so, e.g., the clarinets are
getting parts for cl. in C, as per the score.
OTHER NOTE: The composer himself, in all his surviving autographs of
other works, *always* scores all three trombones (always three, never
more or fewer) on a single staff, in the bass clef.
Opinions?
