Can someone let me know the orchestration (clarinet section) for the overture to Bernstein's 'Candide'.

Thanks

Here's some research ...

Reed I (piccolo/flute/recorder/clarinet), Reed II (clarinet/bass clarinet/soprano sax), Reed III (clarinet/oboe/bassoon), 2 trumpets db. flugelhorns, trombone, percussion, 3 keyboards, violin db. viola, cello, double bass

Thanks diz, but I should have been more specific. I was asking about the 'concert' orchestration of the overture as a stand alone piece.

Although it is written for 4, I have done it in sections with only 3 players, which requires some rescoring/doubling.
