How can you be sure, by listening?

------------------------------------

I just listened to the Kell recording and he absolutely played the 1st mvt
on Bb - I'm sure about that. It was obvious in the 1st 2 measures. I don't
have the 2nd as I didn't get it from ITUNES but you would figure that he
played all on the same Clarinet.

If you want 2 really, really contrasting recordings, then contrast the
recording of Wright - Boston Records BR1005CD (ultra slow! at 3:50 ) and
Charles Stier (really quick at 2:30) with the Shifrin recording (3:25) near
the middle.
