Krommer Eb Concerto - Edits

Hi folks,

I've been asked to play the Krommer Eb concerto with a local orchestra, which is very exciting. Of course I have the music, but I am wondering if there are different versions or interpretations of the concerto that I could get sheet music for. Let me explain:

There are a couple of bars of the concerto where Franz seems to have not bothered to write anything other than a whole note in the bar, either because he didn't feel the need to write anything more complex or because he wanted to leave it to the clarinettist to do their own thing. For example - I don't have bar numbers so bear with me - bars 2-5 after figure 22 in the third movement, which is 18-15 bars from the end.

It's just a low F, high D, low E, high E. Not terribly exciting in the climax of the music.

Now I haven't listened to that many versions, but I do know that when Sharon Kam plays it in her recording, she has a load of semiquavers instead in that bar. It sounds much more exciting. What's more, she then continues playing through the finale, instead of stopping on the long trilled G and final F that the sheet music stops on.

Is this an accepted interpretation of the music, and is there sheet music of it? Of course, technically I can do it by ear and transcribe what she plays, but if there is sheet music of it, or of any other interpretations of the music, that would be much preferable.

Thank you!
Sam
