[Dixielandjazz] Transposition question

[Mark Bauer]

English Horn has the same transposition as French Horn. It sounds a 
major fifth lower than written. So if you are playing an english horn 
part on Bb clarinet, which sounds a major second lower than written, you 
would take the english horn part down a major fourth.
