Hello to all again.

As for the solos' having been bass or contra, I wasn't sure; the low
notes sounded so very low, but the high notes sounded quite
appropriate to the bass clarinet's range, and I couldn't hear any
splicing of two instruments. My husband has a much better ear than I
do and said the solos were mostly in C and G minor, both of which lie
quite nicely on a low-C bass. So we decided that it must have been a
bass and not a contra. If anyone has information to the contrary, I am
glad to hear it.

Best regards,

Anna
