Hello David, Noel, Thank you very much for your answers - they are much
appreciated. About the trumpet in C: I am sure I wouldn't hear the difference
and I didn't want to imply I would. It's also not that terribly important
because trumpet players can transpose while playing, but I was thinking that it
might save me a transposition. I usually write everything in C first and then
write it over for the transposing instruments. I understand now that I can
write everything as in C in Finale and then use the transposition tool where
needed. This is great.
On a completely different note: does anyone of you know of a good source for
writing quartets? I am writing a piece for cello solo right now (my first one
ever) and I find that unbelievably difficult. I cannot imagine writing for
quartet. The big problem is that I do know the instruments well enough - I am
playing the piano and I used to play the trombone a bit but I have no
relationship with strings and so what I am writing lack finesse. The only text
on orchestration I have is Piston, which I think is a good work, but for me his
explanation on the string section is much too short. Thank you and best, Will
