don't know it: it sounds delicious (from the little tausch i do know).

i would guess not. i have a record with a tausch concerto for 2 clts,
and from memory i think the notes say there were two tausch brothers
in the mannheim orchestra when mozart visited: their playing inspired
mozart in the orchestral use of the clarinet.

the disc (thea king and <someone whose name i forget>...) is at home.
if no-one else enlightens you further i'll try and be more detailed
tomorrow morning
