Out of curiosity, did you ever get to speak to Stanley Drucker and ask
him about it?

I remember you telling that story and I had the
impression---speculation, of course---that when she called him she
probably spun it to him along the lines of not transposing, rather than
using the C clarinet. I can't imagine that a player like Drucker would
object to using the C where it is called for in the score.
