"Ibert’s Cinq Pieces en Trio was composed in 1935 and published by l’OiseauLyre the same year. It is similar in character to his wind quintet Trois Pieces Bréves, composed in 1930. The quintet was not Ibert’s first work for woodwinds; in 1922 he composed his Deux mouvements for two flutes, clarinet and bassoon, later titled Quatuor, in which one of the flute parts was replaced by an oboe. He also composed an Aria for flute and piano, which also has arrangements for oboe, clarinet and alto saxophone. Ibert dedicated the Cinq Pièces en Trio to bassoonist Fernand Oubradous and the Paris Reed Trio. The Cinq Pièces en Trio consists of five short movements that are light in character and quite charming. While the technique is at an intermediate level, difficulties lie in the articulation, intonation, and blend of tone color. The fifth movement is the most technically demanding for the three musicians. The five movements all use ternary form, and each end in a fermata. Regarding tempo and meter, the movements are organized in the form of a palindrome; the first and fifth movement are Allegro and in 2/4 time, the second and fourth movement are Andante and Andantino and in 3/4 time, and the third middle movement is Allegro and in 6/8 time." (Jacqueline Therese Bretz)

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

Why doesn't the clarinet have a key signature?
