Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the solo clarinet part for the John Ritchie Concertino for Clarinet and String Orchestra? I see that you can buy the score but no mention of a separate solo clarinet part. Thanks.

Kia ora
try the website at SOUNZ (i think it's www.sounz.org), even if they don't show it on their site as available email them and they will be able to direct you to a source. I performed this with piano accompaniment at the OU Symposium 2005, and the piano reduction is (as far as i know) unpublished- Gail Novak played from a hand written score- but moves were afoot to get a printed version published.
If they are initially not helpful (ie "we only have a score") then be persistent- their job is to promote NZ music and they can contact JR directly.
Btw John Ritchie and his son Anthony are collaborating to finish the John Ritchie clarinet sonata, i look forward to this!

Is this sometimes called his Concerto for Clarinet and String Orchestra? Or are these two different pieces?
---Update ---
The reason I ask is because I have some piece by Ritchie (either Concerto or Concertino) but I got it from the Library of Congress where it's listed as "Concerto for Clarinet..." But the SOUNZ website doesn't list this among his 100 pieces, only the Concertino. I'm out of town at the moment, but when I get back I'll take a peak and let you know. Send me an e-mail off-board for more info.

As far as i know there is only the Concertino (for clarinet- there is a concerto written more recently for Alto Saxophone). I have spoken a few times with JR and know his son Anthony quite well- and feel sure that they would have mentioned (or i would have heard about) another work.
btw- Anthony Ritchie is a fabulous composer and has written an excellent concerto for Bass Clarinet, Cello and orchestra.
