Re: German notation

[Thomas Scharkowski]

Hi Wim,

I looked at the score of the Menuet - I do not find anything extraordinary 
there. The Bass clarinet in B flat (Si b) is transposed as usual. I still do 
not understand what you mean by „German“ and „French notation“.

Thomas

BTW: The French Horn parts (4 Corni) are also transposed, these are in F 
(french: Fa).
