Best Answer

If you are playing violin music on a Clarinet, you have to transpose up one step (a major 2nd). In other words, if you see a C, you play a D.

If you are playing clarinet music on a violin, it's the opposite. You transpose down a step.

Why do clarinets and saxophones transpose?

Im not sure if you meant 'why' or how' do clarinets and saxophones transpose. For the sake of logic, I will assume "How do clarinets and Saxophones transpose" as the alternative does not make sense to me. Well, quite simply, from a clarinet to a Tenor or Soprano Saxophone, there is NO transposing needed as the Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone and Soprano Saxophone are all Bb (B Flat) instruments (which means that a C on the Clarinet will sound the same as a C on those 2 saxes). However, for the Alto and Baritone saxophones, you will need to transpose, as Alto and Baritone are Eb (E Flat) instruments. One thing to note is that a Clarinet has a Register Key, while a Saxophone has an Octave Key. The register key raises the pitch of a clarinet by a 12th (19 semitones) while the Octave key raises by an octave, or 8th (12 semitones). Just something to consider when making the transition :)

The best way would be to transpose the piano music for clarinet. Clarinets transpose up a tone (just go up a letter, like A to B, B to C, C to D and if it works out to be a C of an F, make it a sharp!)
