Subj: Re: [kl] Mendelssohn Overture in C for Winds

I looked at the music I have for this which is published by Baerenreiter
and was edited by Christopher Hogwood. My question is where do you get
clarinets in F? There are transposed parts included for the C clarinet
parts which seems unnecessary (even I own one) and a few of the brass
parts but not for the clarinets in F.
