Subject: transpose up an octive

whenever a piece of music has the notes of the left hand spread beyond 
reach ... s. rampe mentiined ... that it was a well known practice to 
transpose whatever notes up an octive in order to solve the problem ... 
what historical treatise or musical publication contains the instruction 
of this practice.?


I do not wish to seem simplistic but I would have thought that this 
solution was obvious and hardly needs to be explained in detail in a 
treatise. I have been doing it for years. Sometimes if I want to retain 
the composer's low bass notes I transpose an inner part up an octave if 
this provides a practical solution.
