Re: Donizetti Concertino Error?

I'm not familiar with the piece, but I'm assuming that it's in B-flat major. Looking at the clarinet part, I'm assuming that it's a transposed part in C major.

The E-flat and G in the piano part don't automatically mean that it's an E-flat major chord, because without the fifth or any other chord tones, we don't know for sure. Even so, I'm guessing that Donizetti intended it to be an E-flat chord (or F major chord for the clarinet) since most of the notes in the clarinet part suggest this chord.

I would play the note as a B-flat, and think of it as a nonharmonic tone, something that is very common. I think the correct term for this type of nonharmonic tone is an anticipation.
