I think that I'd trust Dan on this one. Still, the fact that someone has
suggested that the concerto might work well with clarinet and in this day
and age of music notation programs and MIDI files, the temptation is just too
sweet to resist. I'll look around for existing MIDI files first and if I
can't find
any, I'll make the conversion one of my next projects. I mean ANYTHING but
another septet. Those things are labors of love!! And can you believe, I
have
four more septets (which include clarinet) staring at me on my desk at home:
one by Lachner, one by Kreutzer and two others which I can't remember. The
legacy of the clarinet literature which has been handed down to us is
fabulous
and contains so much stuff that hardly every gets played. But there are only
24 hours in a day!! 8-)
