I don't know either recording you mention, but Leister is a very sound
clarinettist, and Thea is a very good musician.

As I said to you before, I think you could listen to recordings in order
to *hear the notes*. If you're looking to play it yourself, you can
hear the *possibilities* of the notes by stopping the disc occasionally
and reflecting; or by going through it in your head afterwards.

Sometimes, though it's rare, somebody plays it (for you), ideally. (But
try to steer clear of that, if you can:-)
