Subj: Re: [kl] Molter Clarinet concertos
Date: Wed, 7 May 2003 03:59:11 -0400

I don't know much about the composer but I have bought the sheet music (Clarinet + piano reduction
for concertos 1-4. They come with a part for D clarinet and for A clarinet (at the same sounding
pitch so it is fantastically high!). There is also a version of no 3 transposed completely so
that it works for the Bb. I would dearly love to get hold of music for 5 and 6, but I never had
any luck. Anyone know where to get them (if they are available?)
