I also assume that the question refers to performance with clarinet, cello
and piano. I've done a read-through of about five of the pieces with cello
instead of viola and enjoyed the result very much. Unfortunately, since
the cellist organized this and provided the music, I can't tell you what
edition was used or which of the pieces we played. If you can't find a
violist, I think the cello will work well musically.
