If you mean *my* claim, you might consider the reasons the Paris
Conservatoire had for rejecting M=C3=BCller's "omnitonic" clarinet in the=

early 19th century---that by doing away with clarinets in varied keys,
it would deprive composers and players of an important colour resource.

Or you might examine the late 19th-century works (by e.g. Strauss,
although I don't think he's the only one) that *mix* different
clarinets, such as Bb and A, or the remarks of composers (Strauss and
Berlioz are particularly vocal) on the importance of different clarinet
colours.
