Hi Enid,

Sorry this is late - I haven't been reading my mails much lately - but maybe this is of some help. I contacted a Romanian clarinetist I know who plays a lot of modern music (member of Ensemble Avonture in Freiburg) and here is his answer. Maybe there is something useful for you. Just in case you don't speak German, here is a translation of his comments:

"I don't know which piece the lad wants, has, should play. sometimes it is really confusing with the notation of multiphonics. I suspect that in this case, the Bartelozzi fingerings are used, which means following parallels to Rehfeld:"

Here are some translations you might need:
gis = g#
es = Eb
cis = C#
h = B natural
b = Bb
Triller = trill
rechts = right
Good luck !
David
