Hi Peter,

My source for the Konzertstuck #1 was the International Music Edition
which according to my Finale File (I'm not at home right now, so I
can't look at the original) is written for Bb Clarinet and Basset Horn in F.

Listening to the MIDI files puts the two instruments an octave apart
at measure 53, so the basset horn part on its staff would be G-B
natural -C-D and ought to work for that pitch with a 2nd Bb Clarinet.

Did I understand what you were getting at?
