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.
If you're trying to he authentic, do what he did. He probably had a reason.
If you're trying to be played right the first time, bass clef is the
first clef for trombonists, and the one they read without a seond
thought (with fewer mistakes).
