I have been unable to get the excerpts so far because this piece is
copyrighted.
It is printed in Orchestral Excerpts for Clarinet, Volume 8, published
by International Music Company. But that particular volume is not for
sale in the U.S.!

In patent law -- I think (?) -- if you don't offer a patented
product to the public within a reasonable length of time, you lose the
patent.
Does the same apply to copyrights?

Mark, did the intellectual property mailing list say anything
interesting about the obligation to play music as it was written after
paying a royalty fee?

Thanks,
Bill
