There's also an article in "The Clarinet" by John Newhill, from about the
time of Hacker's edition, that claims Hacker did too much. The general
gist of the article was "just because you *can* play it in the lower
octave doesn't mean you *should*." As I recall, there are a few examples
cited of this alleged overdose of lower chalumeau.

Of course, as Dan points out, until we find the ms, it's all speculation.
