I just received a copy of Penderecki's Prelude (for Solo Clarinet in Bb). I
have a number of individual questions about notes, but I'll distill them
into a general one here. Maybe someone who has prepared this serious for
performance has already worked this out.

There are no bar lines on the piece, so the usual rule about accidentals
continuing in force until the next bar doesn't apply. I feel fairly
confident that chromatics in one octave are not meant to affect other
octaves of the same pitch. I'm not quite so certain about the same notes
when they occur (with or without intervening notes) at the same octave. Is
every note that's meant to have a chromatic sign marked explicitly? There
are a number of places where naturals are marked where, if this is the rule,
they wouldn't be needed. Are they just mis-used "courtesy" reminders that,
like the ones in more traditionally tonal music, really aren't necessary
(and sometimes as a result cause more confusion than they prevent)?

Thanks in advance to anyone familiar with this short piece.

Karl
