I have this CD-ROM and it is indeed in there. The first clarinet part
starts on Bb for the first movement, moves to A for the second, Back to Bb
for the third, then to C (!) for the fourth movement before finally going
to the Eb for the last movement. At least there appears to be no switching
WITHIN movements.

There is a LOT of music on that CD-ROM -- all Beethoven symphonies
(including the C clarinet part for the First Symphony AND the transposed
part for Bb), all Beethoven piano concerti and numerous overtures, all the
Mendelsohn symphonies, all the Shubert symphonies, may other overtures by
Rossini, etc. A VERY good deal! And complete parts, not just exerpts.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
