Subj: [kl] Neilsen Concerto Puzzelment

Here is something that I don't understand. Perhaps some of the clarinet
professors can explain it.

I have been under the impression that the Neilsen Clarinet Concerto is
one of the most important pieces in the clarinet repertoire. Based on
that I would assume that nearly every clarinet performance major would
study it.

Now even if there are only 2000 performance majors out there (that would
be less than 4 per professor) you would think that the US sales of this
piece would be at least 500 a year. Yet Music Sales doesn't seem to
sell enough to keep it in stock and every time I need it they have to
order from Europe and it takes ages. Are people using library copies,
photocopies, professor's copies?

Any insight would be welcome.

Gary
