There is no "right way" either way works, I tend to favour the second but it is a cadenza after all so play it the way you feel it best.

I agree there is no right or wrong way as it's a cadenza which is open to interpretation (and just wanted to find out how public opinion is divided), but I feel the way it's played in example A is more balanced and that's what I've heard in orchestral recordings.
Both phrases start with the held note which leads into the arpeggio and end on the trill, although the 2nd phrase (clarinet Bb minor) is resolved with the held final F before the oboe solo (orchestral version in concert Gm or military band version in the horrendous key of Abm!) comes in.

I think the last time I played it it was the latter...but now hearing Drucker play it, I think the phrasing might be a bit "tighter." A little better, more manageable to play. It does seem like the first part should conclude at the low F, though, like the second phrase (on the throat F), the way the Koreans played it. Ach...
I see merits to both ways. Now I'm torn...thanks.
