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.
