There is a notable alto clarinet solo in Percy Grainger's wind-band piece Lincolnshire Posy. An important orchestral example is Igor Stravinsky 's Threni , which calls for an instrument in F instead of the usual E ♭ , and with extension keys to fingered low C (therefore indistinguishable from a basset horn).
