Gary, I would hesitate to sell anything but the best edition of a work. The
Henle edition is very accurate and based on the autograph score as later
modified by Brahms, not on some earlier edition as is frequently the case
with some publications. Another thing about Henle editions that they do not
advertise is that they consider important human engineering considerations
such as page turns, paper quality, and ink color, etc.

Perhaps one solution for you is to carry two different editions of the work,
one less expensive, and the Henle with your catalog speaking about the
advantages of an URTEXT edition.

It occurred to me that I might be losing some business by carrying only
the very nice but expensive Henle editions of the Brahms clarinet
sonatas. Those of you that teach these pieces, what other editions do
you use and recommend?

Thanks,

Gary
