capriccio espagnol

All,

Before spring juries, a friend of mine asked me to listen to some of the stuff he had prepared, including the excerpt to capriccio espagnol. When he got to the third part of the excerpt (the part on Bb), he played what I later learned is a suggestion from Peter Hadcock's book, where instead of doing 8th + 32nd sextuplet, one plays 16th + 6 32nds.

When I first heard this I thought it was trash, because to me it just sounds like cheating because the part's too damn hard. However, several other fellow players have told me that they play it that way too.

My question to you learned folk is whether or not you think this is an appropriate way to play the part (ie, in an audition), or if you have ever heard a performance of the piece in which the clarinetist did this.

Thanks.
