I'm sure that you'll find the part that starts in 'A' has the first two
movements in A, and the last movement in Bb switching to A for the 13/8
middle section and then back again.

Anyway, whatever your part says, in Bartok's score, the clarinet in
the last movement starts FEFBb in semiquavers on the Bb.

Of course, I suppose it's *possible* that someone has done a version of
the last movement entirely on the A clarinet; if so, I'd very much like
to know about it. (That would make the last movement begin
F#FnaturalF#B, of course. Does it?)

Boosey and Hawkes edition, right?
