Oliver:

What I found in my internet meanderings is that the clarinet duos I'm after are
likely (I'm hedging as I didn't go through and compare them exhaustively) based
on the Three Piano (Harpsichord) Sonatas sometimes(?) accompanied by flute or
violin and cello (a pdf can be accessed here:

http://www.load.cd/sheetmusic/sm-13335_three_sonatas_op_14_b_431-433.html). It
looks like they were most often published as Opus 14, B. 431-433, but I found
reference to the same set (B 431-433) being published as Opus 15 or 20, either
in their entirety or in part (this is also mentioned on the IMSLP site). The
only example of Opus 15 that I could access readily (i.e. as a pdf download) was
4 - 6 of the sequence, while the Opus14 pdf I found was 1 - 3, so, other than
being able to look at it and think to myself that they are very likely the same
composer, I couldn't draw any direct conclusions.

I must say, tracking this down has been just as much fun as analyzing data -
very inspiring! Thanks for your help everyone!

The duo offering for Pleyel at www.imslp.org is certainly impressive, extending
from catalog number B.433,434 then again at B.501-585 for a variety of
instrument combinations. Only a few of the pdf files are identified by opus
numbers. Does anyone know if opus 14 is the same as any one of those catalog
identifications?

Years ago I found a published Beethoven wind quintet entitled "Contradanse", so
I poked around the composer's symphonic scores until I discovered that the
quintet version was a combination of his Contradanses 5, 6 and 12 from catalog
number Woo 14.

On another occasion I found a quintet, "Andante from Six Sonatas" identified
simply as by "Bach." It turns out that a more complete ID wold have read "Bach,
Carl Philipp Emanuel (1714 - 1788) Sonata II (Andante) from Six Sonatas,
originally for
two flutes, two clarinets, two horns and bassoon."

Let us know if you're able to make a match on the Pleyel Opus 14 and any of the
catalog numbers. It's always satisfying to give a modest nudge to musical
scholarship.
