C'mon. Wake up.=A0 For almost 150 years the existence of a basset clarinet =
was unknown. And with it's rebirth, many many players invest to get a basse=
t clarinet.
=A0
So what are you telling me? That we should have begun playing it on basset =
clarinet even before knowledge of the instrument was known?

he next thing you know someone is playing K. 361 with a contrabassoon and o=
ffering this entirely irrelevant argument to support the change in instrume=
ntation."

Um, er, we play the Mozart clarinet concerto on regular clarinets when it w=
as written for the basset clarinet??
