I'm on break for the semester, and my professor wants me to get some music. She asked me to get Orchestral Studies for Clarinet by Daniel Bonade. When I searched for it online, I wasn't able to find it. My roommate said she was able to get it last year, no problem. I found something called Complete Daniel Bonade, which I understand has three of Bonade's studies in it, including the orchestral studies. Can anyone confirm this? It's about $25, so I want to be sure it has what I need before I order it. Thanks!

That book includes the orchestral studies. Also, I think it's been edited to reduce (and hopefully eliminate) the copious errors it contained.

I'm pretty sure I have two of these left. Will have to look into a couple boxes for them.

This is an interesting request from your teacher. The Bonade Orchestral Studies is essentially a volume of excerpts, much like the series from International and a couple of other collections that have been in (and sometimes out) of print for more than 40 years. At the time they were first published they were the most convenient and inexpensive way to collect and practice the major clarinet solos in the orchestral repertoire (I have most of them in my music file - I studied mostly in the 1960s and early '70s).
But the material in all of those books is in the public domain - in fact as I remember some of the International books were withdrawn because some of the Russian excerpts came back under copyright protection in the 1970s. Today, most if not all of the material in all of those books is available online, particularly at the IMSLP Petrucci Project website, in PDFs of the complete parts, not excerpts. Many of those same parts are also available (at $19.95 per volume) in the Orchestra Musician's CD-ROM Library published as a series of CDs by Hal Leonard. If you want to work on the solos in the Beethoven Symphonies, you don't need to limit yourself to what Bonade or McGinnis chose, you can download and see the entire clarinet part (and the second part, too, if you like). So the old excerpt books seem like relics of the pre-digital age.
I wonder - is there a reason still to be using the excerpt collections today?
I'm not sure.

[ Just to lest everyone know, there is a separate bulletin board area for corrections to the orchestral excerpt books.

Tom and I have done most of the corrections for Volume 1 and 2 of the International Series (McGinnis/International Music).
Feel free to add others - GBK ]

I have two of the three volumes of these Bonade excerpt books. Contact me off line and I might be able to help.

It's sold now as a spiral bound book with two other Bonade books. Depending on what you need the parts for you might or might not be able to use IMSLP. I actually used them for comparison and to make sure I had the correct bar numbers, and in a couple of instances I found dramatically different articulations. (I think in the Beethoven 6th Symphony was one of them). If you need them for an exam you probably don't have the choice, since the exams don't allow photocopies, and there's almost no way to prove that those IMSLP parts are public domain. (I think many exam systems are behind in that regard, I've asked about it here for the RCM) But it's more fun to have the actual part in question and play along with the recordings, or if the symphonies have arrangements for piano, play along with my husband on the first clarinet part! :-)
