I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to transpose a D clarinet part
while playing Eb clarinet.
As a clarinet major, I had only heard of A, Bb, C and Eb clarinets.
But, I have done a lot of transposing. I played Eb (soprano) clarinet in
the Army band for 3 years. I often had to transpose Db piccolo parts when
there was no written Eb part for me.
I also had to transpose C piccolo parts, but I often didn't play a lot of
notes. That one is much harder ;-)
My band's famous conclusion to a concert in Germany: The Stars and Stripes
Forever, with 3 piccolos and an Eb Clarinet standing up on the next to last
chorus doing the obbligato. Then everyone would stand up for the last chorus.
That was 40 years ago, but I had that thing so memorized, I could probably
still play it today ;-)
