I have two editions of clarinet arrangements for
Flight of the Bumblebee. One is transcribed and
edited by Jerry Kirkbride and published by
International Music with a 1983 copyright. The other
is a Rubank edition, transcribed by H.W. Davis and
edited by H. Voxman, with a 1935 copyright. The
Kirkbride edition is written so that the clarinet
plays in B-flat (that is, the clarinet part has two
flats), whereas the Davis/Voxman edition has the
clarinet part in C.

Recognizing that both are transcriptions, is there
nevertheless an edition which is "preferred" by
educators and clarinetists? Does anyone happen to
know what the key is for the scherzo in the Opera?
Thanks for whatever thoughts you'd like to share.
