This makes interesting reading. However, for most of us a different exercise is needed. I don't ever expect to be able to get my hands on a basset clarinet, so what is of greater interest is to know if there are more effective ways of rendering the quintet on the normal instrument in order to get closer to the spirit of the original. For the concerto there are some fairly clear steps of this sort that one can take, and many modern performances do so - to my ears, achieving a clear improvement on the work of the original arranger. But I've never heard any recording of the quintet that takes similar steps. It would be good to have suggestions for ways of making improved adaptations - and no-one would be better placed to do this than the author of this detailed basset edition.

BTW, although I could read the article online, it seems impossible to download it, sadly.
