Hey - don't be cosy with this info. I want to know, too, although the
answers to our questions are probably different. The plusses I am looking
at are in the Br&Ha publication "Klarinetten-Duette aus der Fruehzeit des
Instrumentes". edited by Heinz Becker; in particular, Air #1, by an unknown
composer about 1713. They occur over a pair of clarinet-register
quarter-note E's in a piece in D major. They were presumably in the mms.,
since they are not indicated as editorial suggestions. Another instance
occurs in the third Air, on the same note in the same key. I assume they
indicate it was some figure or other, but what figure?
