Bass clef for bass clarinet is not mentioned in Strauss-Berlioz (Study
of instrumentation), but e.g. Rachmaninoff uses it routinely (2nd
symphony, Symphonic Dances, Isle of the Dead). I'm certain Werner will
be able to provide more details 😄.
Bass clef, or bass clef transposed?
After all, Bass clef is simply (I presume) a case of "play the note
that's written". Same as the Trombone.
Treble clef, I regularly describe as "Brass Tablature" - the written
notes tell you the fingering, not pitch.
What I'm *NOT* used to is "tablature in bass clef" where you DON'T pitch
the written note.
