Yes that is how they are written (two clarinets). They are quite difficult,
and would become much more so in transposition!

The violin also plays two instruments (one tuned as G#, D, A Eb).

As for acceptability, I would give a resounding NO, but opinions differ :).

Are the Contrasts -supposed- to be played on Bb and A clarinets, or
is it very acceptable to do the whole thing on Bb?
