Re: quick switches between A and B-flat clarinets

Hi Ruben,
I never played the piece but I did some quick clarinets changes in the past when I played professionally.
The middle part of the movement written for the A clarinet, looks to be playable on Bb clarinet. I don't think anyone in the audience would hear the difference. There are very few Bs that would become throat Bb, otherwise there would not be so much difference in tone, esp. playing in a trio -the difference would be very difficult to hear.
I would play the whole movement on Bb clarinet.
No need to fiddle with different instruments, IMHO.
There were cases when I had played parts written for Bb clarinet on the A clarinet because there was no time to switch and the most of the piece would be for the A clarinet but Bartok is not the case.
