Janacek Concertino- Low Eb

Author: OmarHo

Hello,
I'm scheduled to play the Janacek Concertino (doubling Eb and Bb clarinets) for next year as a part of Chamber Series and I just took a look at the part and in the 3rd movement (for Bb), starting in rehearsal 2, there are many licks that start on a low Eb (not a misprint). Since I don't have a low Eb on my R13, my solution was to put a tube in my bell or a portable stand, but my dilemma is that after the low Eb, there are licks that use the B, which may be affected. Also, after a long sequence of these licks that start on a low Eb, it changes to low E natural, which gives me no time to take the tube out of my bell, because the licks have to flow seamlessly into one another.

The other solution would be to just get the bassoon player to play the beginning of the licks for me...but I'm curious to know what other people have done in the past.

Thanks so much, looking forward to hearing your ideas....
If you want to see what I'm talking about here's the score:
