I know Schoenberg once proposed an alternative system that would make his music easier to read, and I'm sure there have been others as well. Unfortunately, we are way too far down the path to turn back. I'd like most of all to do away with transposing instruments (that is to say transposed parts). Every time a saxophonist complains to me about a double sharp in their part, I offer to give them a concert part. It shuts them up every time.Stefan Kachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03103517356905739209noreply@blogger.com
