I have a handwritten transposition for the 1st clarinet part of the
Strauss Oboe concerto.
I cannot vouch for its accuracy as I have not played the piece. The
writing is somewhat faint and on yellow manuscript but it is legible.
If you have not yet got a transposed part let me know and I can scan
and send you the 5 pages I have.
