Jacques Ibert: Cinq pièces en trio (1935)

[@lylecohen1638]

Is showing the queues for the other parts in the full score as is done here standard practice? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before

[@TheodoreBrown314]

Not normally. Those aren't so much cues as reference markings, and the only work I can think of that makes a point to displays them in the full score is an educational work where the conductor needs to know that information (Balmages' Rippling Watercolours)

[@OrchidDev-b5o]

i've seen it plenty of times in orchestral context, i don't think in chamber context

Why doesn't the clarinet have a key signature?

[@bassoonuk]

Yes, that is unusual, but it looks like the composer (or editor) simply wrote in all the accidentals for the B-flat clarinet part. In fact NONE of the parts have key signatures, despite the fact that none of the movements are in C! (OK, the 3rd movement looks like it's in A minor...) There are number of mistakes in the parts too

[@Cornodebassetto]

It’s not unusual in the slightest. The music is rather model and doesn’t have a true key centre hence the accidentals. I’ve played this more times than I care to remember and there are no errors.

[@Teaspoonfossil]

I think there was a point in 20th century music where they stopped adding key signatures,because tonality was being broken down completely,although this piece is more of an impressionistic piece
