Great...!

Buy the transposed parts. However, be aware that most professional
orchestras require you to perform from their parts.....usually C
parts...and it is not by accident! So.....you should probably have
both....hmmm....an expensive choice.

Many orchestra, such as Chicago, now play all C parts on C clarinets.
While you may not own one, you should learn the transposition on Bb
clarinet....so you can read it as well as as you read Bb parts.
