We have one recording of the Arpeggione sonate Brava. Seunghee Lee clarinet
. http://www.vcisinc.com/clarinetcds.htm#CD056

I don't think she is playing the Baerenreiter edition, as some of the
octaves are different, although it is very similar.

Interestingly enough, the score that accompanies this edition has the
Arpeggione part rather than the clarinet part. So you can make your own
adjustments (or arrangements) based on the original if you wish. It
mentions that the arpeggione is notated one ocative higher in the treble
clef than it sounded. There is also a short portion in bass clef. I am
assuming that is at the correct pitch. Does anyone know? It would be very
low otherwise.
