If I was to acquire a copy of Weber's Concertino, what edition would you recommend that I purchase? My teacher put it on my 'shopping list' over Christmas break, and she didn't specify any edition or publisher. She doesn't mind which one I get, and I was just wondering if any of them were "better" than another.
Thanks!

My private teacher said I should get the Bonade compilation called 16 Grand Solos de Concert. I've been playing solos out of it ever since I got it. That includes Weber's Concertino.
Of course, it's a bit of a waste to get the compilation if you're only going to be playing the Weber Concertino, but if you think you might be playing some of the others, it's a good investment.
It has:
Introduction and Rondo (Widor)
Fantasie Caprice (Lefebvre)
Fantasie Orientale (Max D'Ollone)
1st Fantaise (Marty)
Solo de Concours (Messager)
Concertino (Weber)
A Wessex Pastorale (Stocks)
Andantino (Jeanjean)
Scherzo Brillante (Jeanjean)
Sicilienne (Francoeur)
Ragaudon (Francoeur)
Canzonetta (Pierne)
Bumble Bee (Rimsky-Korsakov)
Fantaisie (Gaubert)
Melodie & Scherzetto (Coquard)
Sarabande, Theme Varie (R. Hahn)

Is the compilation a one-big-book thing? I tend to prefer having individual copies of each piece, at least for something I'm putting a lot of time into. Others might not mind, of course.

Henle, without any doubt. You get Weber's original and the Carl Baermann edition in separate clarinet parts, and a critical commentary.
That means that you can see both what Weber wrote, and a written representation of how one performer close to Weber (Heinrich Baermann) may have adumbrated Weber's text when he performed it.
And it's cheap.

Do a search. I asked the same question not too long ago. I got alot of responses on what to get and what not. From the understanding, the Schirmer edition is best for contest/auditions but some other editions are good for your own performance.

What could that possibly mean? unless the Schirmer edition is stipulated for the contest/auditions?

After speaking to some local musicians and through the previous thread http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=257677&t=257677 all signs pointed that most people know the Concertino through the Schirmer piece because it is so popular. I got back in touch with my teacher and he stated that whenever he judges most of the kids audition/compete with the Schirmer. I personally like the Fischer and/or Hite, as does he. The Henle is great for understanding the piece and I'm getting that next after not having enough green on me to buy it a few weeks back.
If I were Katelyn, I'd get the Henle. Also from recordings, alot of the recordings I've heard sound like the Schirmer.

Henle...all right, thanks everyone. And I've done a search on it, and I came across Mr. Shaw's commentary. Very nice stuff, very helpful.

A co-workerof mine has that compilation and it's some pretty good stuff. I noticed a few differences between some of those versions and some other versions I have. I don't know which are right or wrong, but there were differences. But they were few and far between. And otherwise, it's some very good music. Some really good music for me to work on (I borrow it all the time!)

I would agree with Tony Pay.
Whatever you do, don't get the Boosey and Hawkes edition. You'll spend most of your time changing the articulations and adding bits that have been removed.
