Dan,
I haven't done the primary research with Mozart's autographs but I am
curious about the use of the extended range of the basset clarinet. The
Lawson book didn't say that Stadler didn't have D# and C#, but that there
appeared to be an evolution of sorts with the extended range gradually
filled out. There seems to be a possibility that Mozart was using notes as
they became available (at least to Stadler) I'm also curious about the use
of alternate passages/ notes in some sections. Did Mozart offer solutions
for the player with a "regular" clarinet?
