There's also an _extensive_ set of notes on Sneezy at http://www.sneezy.org/clarinet/Study by Eric Nelson. The opening:

Performance Notes on Carl Nielsens 'Koncert For Klarinet Og Orkester, Opus 57' by Eric Nelson as recorded in study with Tage Scharff, Professor of Clarinet at the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen, Denmark, and former pupil of Aage Oxenvad and a comparison of the Published Version with the Manuscripts in the Danish Royal Library.

This paper is a measure by measure summation of notes scrawled in my study copy of the Nielsen Concerto. These are instructions, expletives, and analogies made by Tage Scharff during my studies with him in the summer of 1979. Scharff was a student of Oxenvad 1940-1944. In addition, I have included a measure by measure comparison of the version published by Samfundet til Udgivelse af Dansk Musik in 1973 with the three extant manuscripts. I have compared only the solo parts; I did not have the time to make a study of the full orchestral score in manuscript. These manuscripts are all in the possession of the Royal Library in Copenhagen, which refused permission to make photocopies of the music because of instructions by the executors of the Nielsen estate. My study was therefore limited to notes I could make in my own study copy while sitting in the reading room at the
library.
