Yes , and its ok also with 3 cl and Bcl.
I play it with my clarinet quartet for years (one of our concert programs is called "from Bach
to Piazzola).
A few years ago I've been in a recaption at the Dan Hotel in Tel Aviv and heard a wonderful pianist play Tangos. I went to talk with him and he told me his amazing story:His name is Miguel Miman and he was born in Argentina to a family of musicians. In his 20's he played in the band of the father of Giora Feidmann. When he came to Israel (about 50 years ago) he couldn't make his living as a musician and worked in different jobs until he retierd and in his late 60's he started playing the piano again and to write music. He is playing at the Dan Hotel twice a week for 20 years ( he is 87 now!).
One of his favorite instruments is the clarinet and last year I premierd a Tango piece for clarinet solo that he wrote.
I learnd how to play Tango from Miguel.
His grandson, Daniel Goldman is a clarinet student in Juilliard.
