That's probably the issue. I don't think we'd ALL feel we had any use for both versions. If we're teaching the concerto to high school students (mostly for auditions of various sorts), they wouldn't typically own an A clarinet or need the original version in A Major. If we're adults or serious older students who own A clarinets, we'd have no use for a Bb version of the piano part for our own playing. Those players who are left probably wouldn't buy enough copies to make combining the two accompaniments and distributing it worthwhile to a publisher, assuming that the price would be higher than either single version.
