Dan, you proved again that you are very good with theory but not really familiar with the practical side of clarinet playing.

We need two clarinets even when we transpose very well. When was the last time that you heard a clarinetist play Mozart concerto on stage with a Bb?? probably never. Is it because people don't know how to transpose or is it because they are trying to make music and don't want to spend all their energy struggling with five sharps and intonation problems?

We need two clarinets because when we play music we want to walk in the main road and not in the dark alleys of the clarinet.
