Subj: [kl] Basset clarinet extension

Can I presume that a Fox basset horn right-hand joint for an A clarinet, would not work successfully as a right hand joint for a B-flat clarinet?

If my hypothesis is correct, one would need two such joints if one were serious about playing basset clarinet music on both a B-flat and an A instrument. I ask because there are a few very important parts for B-flat basset clarinet in the Mozart repertoire, one of which is the big solo in Titus, "Parto, parto," and the other, also in Titus, as part of the instrumental accompaniment but which and is not a solo.
