Another Transposing Question?!


Question: Well it's really the same one. Ok, is the only difference between the transposed score and the concert score, is the key signature? I mean I get transposed score (I'm using the Eb Lydian Dominant scale with an alto sax, the assignment is to use any mode and I asked my teacher if I could use the lydian dominant because it's the combination of two and he said sure), I would transpose Bb to G because of a minor third. I get that but then in Concert score do I just keep E flat and write in every single accidental (like if I were to write Eb I would just write Gb instead in the key of Eb)?

You change the key signatures to match the pitch. That is, if you're transposing the transposing instruments into C, the key signatures must be as if they are for 'C' instruments. Otherwise it would get massively confusing for everybody.

yup

I don't get you... The concert score is the un-transposed score right? So the sax part will be in Eb as well... the same as everything else... If you wan't to write a sounding Eb for alto sax in the un-transposed score, you simply write Eb. I think your making this more difficult than it actually is! The un-tranposed score is the easy part. You seem to understand the difficult bit!!!

I love trainspotting .. was a great movie!
