Walter, you misunderstood me. When I did the work, both players played E-flat clarinet. I would never have done anything else. However, I played 2nd E-flat whereas the other player executed the 1st part. We
played exactly what the composer requested, on the composer requested instruments, but simply changed the names of the players.

Walter says:

No, you misunderstood me. I understand that you both played Eb clarinet but switched parts. My point was, again, how did you know that you were not violating Mahler's wishes, by NOT having the more unstable embouchure play the lead part???

Anyway, was just trying to have some fun.......and pull your leg a little......

As I said, when I last played the Mahler 1st, we did exactly what you did.
