Thanks Don! There are people out there who have a much much greater knowledge about these things than I do. I'm not a musicologist, I'm just one of the lucky bastards who can survive doing what I love the most, (besides family and friends that is) music and my tools for music-making, the clarinets. I have had the pleasure of having performed in concerts and recordings on period- and modern instruments from practically every period of the history of the clarinet. From the soprano chalumeau (Gluck's Orfeus, Vienna version) to Bb-Contra (Corigliano's 1st symphony), and heeps of things in between, including practically all the music by Mozart for clarinet and basset-horn. Symphonies, operas and chamber-works and for every production that I have participated in I have tried to educate myself on what I'm doing for the moment out of pure interest. A lot of information that I've come across stuck to my brain and can be used whenever needed. It doesn't hurt. Since four years I have a permanent job in a philharmonic orchestra so the period instrument business is getting less and less. Occasionally people still call and ask me to play though and I try to never say no.
