Clarinets in Bb and A have the same written range, extending down to the E 
below middle C. This note sounds as concert D on the Bb clarinet, and 
concert C# on the A clarinet.

The lack of a key signature is fairly standard practice for contemporary 
music that is not organized around common practice tonality. E.g., the 
opening section of The Rite of Spring has no key signatures for any 
instruments, including the transposing ones. (The score is transposed, and 
later sections that do have key signatures display transposed key 
signatures in the transposing instruments. So the absence of key signatures 
in the first section must be deliberate.)
