RE: bass clarinet/Bb clarinet duets

Thanks for the web link, Mark. I have both the Schuller and the Deason, and they're not my cuppa tea musically--very moderne & very difficult--and I'm a little discouraged that the clt/bclt literature may be pretty much of that ilk across the board.
I have had a lot of fun, however, with a collection of Beethoven duets for violin & cello (Kalmus/Belwin Mills/Warner Bros, K04694) and have kinda/sorta thought about investigating violin/cello duet literature a little further. Any recommendations along those lines?
We usually read the vln/cello parts in the original key (which challenges a bassist's facility to both read AND transpose tenor clef, when the cello goes there). The pesky transpositions, though, are a small price to pay for being able to play wonderful music.
BTW, I haven't checked Hite for this kind of thing. Anyone have any other ideas?
cheers
DougR
