In the second movement of the second sonata [Brahms], only the third of
the first three clarinet phrases gets marked espressivo. How do we make
sense of that?

Well.... the first step for _me_ would be to purchase a copy of it.
Am I correct that you refer to Brahms Sonata for Clarinet (or Viola) and
Piano No. 2 in Eb major, Opus 120/2?

This will be the first piece of 'serious' printed music that I've
purchased. I hope that it doesn't cost a fortune, and I know that
there's no way I can actually play it; but I would like to continue this
discussion and so I need to have the printed music in front of me. Or
visit a library. I'm not sure how 'open' the local university music
library is to outsiders. I doubt that our public library has scores.
....anyway, I imagine that there are different editions of it. In
order that we continue to discuss the same thing, do I need to be
careful which edition look for?
I don't want to buy a CD because that would short-circuit the
discussion about _written_ instructions.
