<< don't understand your comment, could you please explain more? Also, my
friend and I aren't really intending on performing the piece that we are
going to play. It is more for our own learning and for our own
entertainment.
If by chancce it turns out sounding good, we might put on a small perfomance
for our families.

Word of advice on the Poulenc - make sure you have the CORRECT clarinets!
Granted, it may be FUN to play both Bbs...but your audience may not agree.

I didn't make this comment, but I can explain it. The Poulenc Sonata for Two
Clarinets calls for one player to play a Bb clarinet and the other to play an
A clarinet. So, if you're going to attempt it, one of you has to have access
to an A clarinet. It's a pretty difficult piece anyway, but I would think
high school freshmen could maybe attempt the second movement.
