 The Clarinet BBoard

I have a set of parts to Shoenberg's Wind Quintet, the clarinet part is for A clarinet. Since the (concert pitch) score asks for low C# Schoenberg must've had in mind the A clarinet, although it would've been playable on a full-boehm Bb which were not uncommon back then.
Schoenberg's music offers many beautiful, memorable melodies, and ones that would be unlikely to appear in diatonic music. Webern, too -- the 2nd movement of the Concerto is achingly poignant and reminiscent of the 2nd movement of the 2nd Brandenburg. Unfortunately, their best music is not performed or recorded much, and then often not well. Ill-played Mozart is disappointing, ill-played Schoenberg is noise pollution.
*********************
I play full-boehm A clarinet because the top of the instrument's range is theoretical and the top notes are unbeautiful, while the bottom is inviolable and the bottom notes are charming. A full-boehm A gives me two good notes that a standard Bb cannot produce.
