Did you consider the bassett clarinet in A? I don't have the original here
at the moment, what's the lowest sounding pitch used by Schubert? The lowest
string on the argeggione was, as on the guitar, E; you would need a bassett
horn in E for that.
Best,

On the A clarinet, there are a very few places that descend
