Re: Molter Concertos

Ed, One of the reasons for a modern player taking the printed high notes down the octave on a modern D clarinet might lie in the player's lack of awareness of the intrinsic differences between a baroque D clarinet and a modern D clarinet (tone quality, ease of high register, difference between the stridency of a modern clarinet's high register and that of a baroque clarinet, etc).
For more discussion on this very point (and other aspects of these pieces), if you have access in print or online to The Clarinet journal, see my article on the Molter Concerti:
Aldrich, Simon. “The Clarinet Concerti of Johann Melchior Molter ”. The Clarinet, vol. 26, no. 3. (1999)
