Hi Nick,

According to Bret Pimentel's site, this is the WW instrumentation for A
Little Night Music:

Reed 1: Piccolo, flute, alto flute, clarinet

Reed 2: Piccolo, flute, clarinet

Reed 3: Clarinet, bass clarinet

Reed 4: Oboe, English horn

Reed 5: Clarinet [optional], bassoon

I've played a condensed version of the show with two players covering
bits and pieces of all five books.

As you can see, there is clarinet on 4 of the 5 books.
