I'm with Dan Leeson on the idiotic nature of Ted Lane's note re:Combs; as
a former student of James Campbell, I've been improvising short diatonic
phrases at the 2 pauses in the 1st mvt, but found Dan's thoughts about
suitable places in the 3rd mvt. right on. Please, let's not start a nasty
tone on here that will drive others with useful insights off the list;
having never heard of Ted before, I'm not sure he's in any position to be
apparently putting down a well-respected and published clarinet scholar;
I have the Toronto Chamber Winds recording of the Mozart K.361 with Dan
on it, and it's terrific!

Way to go Dan,
