Interesting locale, Eichstetten/Kaiserstuhl. I have visited it on a
number of occasions because my wife's family is from that village. To
make sure I have it right, it is about 30-45 minutes from the French
border, and the Kaiserstuhl is visible from Freiburg, right??

As for the use of A clarinets in the Kyrie fugue, why? There are no key
complications when playing it on basset horn. The Sanctus definitely
has a key complication requiring basset horns in F to play in written A
major, a definite no no. But there is no reason to use anything but
basset horns for the Kyrie. What is the issue that makes you feel that
such an instrument change is needed?
