Ah! This is well before publication, notice. And you would expect
Mazzeo to comment on the C#s himself, wouldn't you, when the piece was
first published? Who might have studied this with Mazzeo at around that
time, or earlier, presumably from a copy of his copy?

(By the way, in the hope that someone may find a lead, I'm sending this
to the Klarinet list; I hope you don't mind...)

Anyone?

I just now did another websearch, and found that there are 2 copies of
the clarinet sonata in the UCLA Music Library Special Collections,
Collection 117, Box 7 folder 5. Perhaps this may help?
