Subj: [kl] Contra Concerti?

Hello, Everyone.

I've already written about this to Professor Joze
Kotar and Mr. Bradley Stevens. They were able to
find a few Pieces for Contra Woodwind instruments,
but so far no concerti. Does ANYONE know of ANY
Sonatas or Concerti written for a Contra Bassoon,
Bb Contra Bass Clarinet or E-Flat Contralto Clarinet
as the Soloist?

I think I've heard of a few Contra Bassoon Concerti,
but I would guess that players of the Bb Contra Bass
Clarinet or E-Flat Contralto Clarinet, would transcribe
such music to fit their instrument, if possible. So has
anyone here heard of a Player of Bb Contra Bass
Clarinet playing a Transcribed Contra Bassoon
Concerto?
