Subj: Re: [kl] Clarinet parts in Mozart Symponies

I have a couple hundred messages this morning and I haven't scrolled
through all of them, so if the original question has already been
answered, my apologies.

I'd go to Pierre Schwob's site at
http://www.classicalarchives.com/mozart.html .

He has 16 of Mozart's 41 symphonies in MIDI format. Download them
and using an appropriate playback program check the tracks for clarinet.

I've been thinking of creating my own library of exposed clarinet
parts in works for orchestra (and band, I guess) for play-along
practice. I know books with the excerpts exist but they are no
substitute for being able to play along with the orchestral
accompaniment. The thing which has held me back is my reluctance to
have before me only the excerpts with the exposed part (and perhaps a
little bit on either side), but the other side of the coin is having
all of the rest of the imbedded part which is filled with tick-tack
playing and multimeasure rests.

But for the purpose of finding which symphonies were scored for
clarinet and related instruments that would be my strategy.

Good luck in your search. Report back on your findings. I'd be very
interested.

Oliver
