We have a real collector in our orchestra. Only guy I know to have a D
clarinet, a C clarinet, a basset horn, a great bass clarinet with a low
C, etc., etc..
He wants to be able to play anything on the instrument for which it was
written. I forget if he said he has a clarinet in every key, or is
lacking something in G. (Is there anything?)
I'd have to venture an opinion that _Til Eeulenspiegel_ sounds just a
bit fuller, fatter on D clarinet than Eb. But it is slight, and if I
didn't know about the difference I probably would never notice.

Exactly the same as transposing an A clarinet part while playing Bb
clarinet. But you're right, it's a real bear to have to do that. (And
then you run out of notes, like in "Peter & the Wolf"!)
