Does anyone know the range in Deak's "Sonatina" and Kokai's "Four Hungarian Dances?" Thank you!

Hi, I don't know the Deak but I do have the music for the Kokai- in a filling cabinet with several surfboard jammed in front of it... after I finish teaching for the day I'll move everything around and take a look at that music for you.
Hang on, back soon...

Ok, the Kokai has a few low E's in it, but does not go very high- Altissimo E/F make an appearance here and there. In the first mvt (Verbunkos) bar 41 has the following altissimo notes- G/F#/E/G as quavers/8th notes. As far as I can see, this is the only place where there is an altissmo G, and nothing higher than that.
btw
I'm fairly sure my old teacher, Dr Dave Etheridge, used to play this piece on the A clarinet, and had a hand written part for A clarinet. I've owned the music for years but never played it... yet....
