"my Lotz basset clarinet copy"... hmmm... which Lotz basset clarinet did you copy Thomas? ;-)

Any good musician will try to get the best out of their instrument in order to best serve the music they are playing. There are plenty of fingering possibilities, even on 5-keyed clarinets. I cannot believe that any good player in previous centuries would have used a particular fingering because it was the one in the Grifftabelle, or that it was "traditional". They would have chosen the best option available to them for the context of the musical passage.

Klose: could you be more specific about some places where Annelien Van Wauwe plays a "much separated C6"? I hear one inappropriately accentuated C6 in bar 71 of the first movement, but I would put that down to a lack of sensitivity to classical phrasing rather than some deliberately contrived attempt to sound like an 18th century instrument.
