In the 1st mvt. Andantino section Letter F there is an indication for solo clarinet
and flute has solo marking there also. Is this to be a duet or is it the conductors's
call? If both are playing intonation is a problem since the flute is using vibrato
and in the upper register. Should we reach a compromise and ask flute to use
less vibrato and clarinet come up to flute in pitch? Thanks.

Haaving given away my copy of the orchestral score to L'Arles, I cant place where the And-ino occurs, but in the Prelude [Suite #1], there is that beautiful Alto Sax solo [played/love it] which can be played on clarinet, and much flute following it. Also later , in Pastorale perhaps, I believe there is much woodwind work. My latest acquaintance with L' was in concert band where I believe it was only the Prelude. There must be some of us with better memory of this fine work, certainly a rival to Carmen ! Please Help, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

The reference is to L'Arlesienne Suite #2, the Pastorale movement (clarinet in A) at letter F (Andantino).
Your entrance is also marked sostenuto. Why not use vibrato on the tied E5, the tied F5 and the final tied E5?
It is perfectly within the character of the passage with the flute...GBK

Probably the conductor will tell you to play in unison with the flute. When you do, you should concentrate on matching intonation and tone color. What you want is a "flutinet" -- as Toscanini said, a third instrument, the result of a happy marriage between the two.
Get into a practice room with the 1st flutist and find out which notes your instruments match intonation on, and which notes (both of) you need to bend. Then, have the flutist imagine s/he's playing clarinet, and you imagine you're playing flute, each of you trying to make the other instrument's sound on your own instrument, working to merge together.
See the wonderful article by Robert Bloom on this subject http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=94788&t=94788

OK, I thought so. I pulled out my score of the first suite and it didn't make any sense, but the 2nd suite makes perfect sense.
