Wim van Dommelen, Thank you for your interest and input. That rarity supports my suggestion. The “ossia” for the Bes Clarinet would need a specific key signature. As the documentation snippet is currently presented ( see attached) no place for that key signature is given. Mark Stephen Mrotek From: Wim van Dommelen [mailto:address@hidden One other example is a piece for clarinet. For example in a symphonic orchestra piece and aimed at a clarinet in A to which the player normally should switch. But if no clarinet in A is available, an "ossia" for a clarinet in Bes could be provided. Of course the ossia then needs a different key. Have seen that once (and long ago), don't remember the name. But it is rare. Regards, Wim. On 11 Oct 2013, at 03:53 , Mark Stephen Mrotek wrote: Mr. Palmer, Thank you for your response. Yes, compositions with various instruments involved in polytonality would have different key signatures. These cases would not be considered an example of an “ossia.” As I stated below an ossia is an alternative to an original passage. Both the original and the ossia would be for the same instrument. I cannot think of an example (my experience is with the piano) in which the ossia is in a different key than the rest of the composition.

Certainly not "must". There are pieces (e.g., in the Bartok violin duets) where instruments play at the same time in different keys, so why not an ossia in a separate key? Ralph -- _______________________________________________ |
