Ok. I pulled out the only recording that I have of this Mahler Symphony to
hear this. It is an old RCA Living Stereo LP, LSC-2642, with Erich
Leinsdorf and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It was made in 1963! My
question is, who were the members of the clarinet section at that time!

(Aside: the harmonics were very interesting, but did not produce any
physical side effects.)
