Hi Stephen,
you said you would attend some contest with that concert. Is it true? If so,
you should be more concerned about transpose it for A clarinet. As I alread
be a member of the jury of some international clarinet contests, I can say
to you that any good clarinet player will know if you play it with an A
clarinet. Think about that...
You would consider the possibility to play it with four hand pianist (two
pianists). That way you will never lost important passages of the orchestra.
You will easy rent the orchestra parts in "Editions Transatlantiques" in
France.
All the best

Subject: [kl] Francaix Concerto Questions
Recently I received my copy of the Francaix Clarinet Concerto and thought it
might be a very effective competition piece. I do have some questions
though..
1) I have always heard that the greatest hinderance to this piece is the
fact
that it is in the key of B major, making many of the passages akward. Would
it be legal for me to load the part into Finale and transpose it for A
clarinet, providing I don't give my copy to anyone?
2) I noticed that the piano reduction part has 3 (and in some spots 4)
staves.
Is this playable? Has anybody done it? Would a good accompanist know
which
parts to play and which parts to leave out?
3) To compete in this particular concerto competition, I would need to
verify
that the orchestra parts are easily obtainable for sale or rent. Does
anybody
know about this?
I really appreciate any info you all can give me!
