Mr. Williams:
I don't know how reasonable this answer is, but when I played
Rachmaninoff's 2nd at Baylor Music Camp two summers ago, the bass
clarinetist who sat next to me had a transposed part (written out by some
grad student), for she could neither read bass cleff nor sight-transpose.
Thus, maybe they can give you a copy of that transposition. Like I said,
I don't know if this is a reasonable idea.

The Baylor I am referring to, by the way, is Baylor University School of
Music in Waco, Texas.
