David,

The two Mendelssohn Koncertstucke are for clarinet and BASSET HORN not =
two
clarinets. They have been transcribed for the latter but are not nearly =
so
effective, as they make great use of the tonal difference between the
voices.

The Basset Horn Police will get you for this. But Dan Leeson, Forest =
Aten
and I are currently well mellow from a successful concert in Santa Fe of
Mozart's rare basset horn music, including fragments, different =
completions
and the incredible gem of a trio for bassoon and two basset horns, =
K484d, a
complete 28 measure work that we just could not stop playing. It is cool =
to
give world premieres of Mozart even if one of them was just 6 measures! =
So
we might let you off this time.

One of the pleasures of this visit has been for Dan and I to meet and =
work
with Forest. He is a great person and a wonderful musician, player, =
teacher
and instrument technician. His (Selmer) basset horn developed a grand =
canyon
crack on the first day, but he coped!=20

On to Las Vegas for Monday's performance!
