Many thanks to Jim,

during the ongoing discussions and, of course during reading the terrific
story of the 'Clarinet Polka' in Poland, I wondered why I've never heard of
this 'Clarinet Polka' before.

But 'Klarinetten-Muckl', now my dum German brain fully understands what the
writing was about.
A bit late but still....

By the way. The 'Klarinetten-Muckl' still is very, very popular to be played
in South-German 'Bierzelten' (Beer tents?)
First thing to do for clarinet sections is to play it in front of the band
without music stands. Great fun! Big show!
