Bwahahahahahahahaaa!!!

Kendor Music, Inc published an arrangement of Von Weber's Concertino for
Clarinet and Wind Band. Good arrangement. Even better: Kendor also
published an arrangement of the Concertino for Bass Clarinet and Piano.
The bass arrangement of the Concertino is the purest and truest
arrangement that I have ever seen of the Concertino; it's done by Don
McCathren and Marcel Frank. (I can't name the other arrangements for
clarinet off the top of my head, except for the Pamela Weston version,
which I've seen most often. Anyhow, most of them seem watered down to
some extent.)

Now, my suggestion? Take the solo part from the bass Concertino and use
it with the Band arrangement. Believe me, it works! I've done it!
