Sheet music for recorder is nearly always notated in 'concert key,' meaning that a written "C" in the score actually sounds as a "C." This implies that the player must learn two different sets of similar fingerings, one for the C recorders and another for the F recorders However, many sizes of recorder do transpose at the octave The garklein sounds two octaves above the written pitch; the sopranino and soprano sound one octave above written pitch Alto and tenor sizes do not transpose at all, while the bass and great bass sound one octave above written (bass clef) pitch Contrabass and subcontrabass are non-transposing while the octocontrabass sounds one octave below written pitch
Sizes from garklein down through tenor are notated in the treble clef while the bass size and lower usually read the bass clef Professionals can usually read C-clefs and often perform from original notation
