What's the situation with Clemenza di Tito as far as source material goes?
Isn't that the only Mozart work for basset clarinet where the source
definitively contains the basset notes?

(... with no "ossia", I imagine.)

Incidentally, how does Mozart write the basset notes in that work (and for
basset horn)? I would imagine he uses bass clef as in the Barenreiter and
Henle editions....?
