auditions.
In the first movement of the Tchaikovsky 6th, for example, there's a page of
16th note repeated patterns that aren't in any of the scale books, at a
furious tempo. This is often asked for on auditions, and unless you have the
whole part and have it worked up, you're dead. The same thing goes for
Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphoses. >>

Just for the record, I was never asked any of the tutti passages from
Tchaikovsky 6 on an audition when I was taking them. And I never played
anything on Symphonic Metamorphasis on an audition, although I suspect it
might come up on bass clarinet auditions occasionally.

That said, you still have to learn these things just in case. It will come in
handy should you ever play the pieces.

Kalmus parts are pretty cheap considering how important it is to have all
those things. Then you have to get illegal copies of all the rental stuff and
also all the recently withdrawn stuff like Shostakovich and Prokofiev.

Your last result will be scores, a small percentage of which are not
transposed.
