The Peters edition score (but not the parts) had some alternative
clarinet music that was edited out by a very wise person. Schubert
wrote a very peculiar and extraordinarily uncharacteristic clarinet
part (very unusual) that borders on both the unplayable and the
uncharacteristic. So the parts are traditional, but the score
(and it has been a long time) has the original as an ossia.
