Laurence Beckhardt's question is quoted below: in my opinion the
tradition arose because of the financial implications of having
to own multiple clarinets. Many kids who studied clarinet in
Italy were from poor families. They could not afford two
clarinets so they bought either a B-flat with the extension to
low e-flat, or its range equivalent A clarinet. And then they
learned to transpose. Benny Amato played only an A clarinet at
the Met.
