Listen, I haven't done anything to anyone so I dont understand this.

I said it as an expression to stress how much I like that piece and how well it works for clarinet.

If you can't HANDEL (Get it?) people's opinions then you probably shouldn't be on an online blog list thing.

And i wasn't supporting any "change" and I wasn't even building an "argument" I was just suggesting a piece and saying its good. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE BUILDING AN ARGUMENT.

You hear, "If Mozart had had a contrabassoon he would have used it," and the next thing you know someone is playing K. 361 with a contrabassoon and offering this entirely irrelevant argument to support the change in instrumentation.

I bought the Handel Oboe concerto no.3 (in G minor) transcribed for Bb and I think if Handel had access to clarinet players then he would have written the concerto for clarinet in the first place. I would highly recommend this concerto to you if you are interested. (especially if you like baroque music)
