What I did was get the part written for Bb and the part written for A (both Kalmus).
Then I simply made a collage. Using the Bb part as a base, I glued in the sections that were easier on A clarinet or when the low E on A clarinet is needed.
I do the cadenza on Bb.
Often Peter and the Wolf is done in student matinees.
It's a lot easier on the brain playing in one sharp than in 6 sharps if you are playing at 9 am after getting 4 hours sleep after a six-hour opera the night before.
