Tchaikovsky Sym. 2 - 4th movement problem

Author: Bob Bernardo

Hey folks, as most of you know this 4th movement is written for the "C" clarinet.

I have a student a senior in high school that can't transpose yet and this is a community orchestra. I had enough trouble getting her into the orchestra, took 1 1/2 years to get her up to speed.

Does anyone know if there is a place to get a copy of the 4th movement for the Bb clarinet? I need mainly the second clarinet part, but if the first clarinetist is out sick or something she will most likely need to play that part. Not sure though.

I have the PDF file. Can one of those computer music programs transpose it? I'm not into electronic music programs, but if I send the PDF file to a volunteer can someone be able to transpose this without taking up too much time?

I'm just trying to avoid doing this by hand. Best email to reach me is savagesax@aol.com Thanks in advance!

If you don't find another option, you might try http://quicktranspositions.com

I don't have any experience with them.

I have a transcription of the first clarinet part for Bb Clarinet posted here on the Woodwind.org at http://www.woodwind.org/clarinet/Music/Krelove/Tchaikovsky_Symphony_2_Bb_Clarinet.pdf.

It's a particularly nasty movement to transpose. One of the few that, even before Finale, I wrote out in the sections where the chromatics got wild-and-wooliest.

You can buy a transposed clarinet part (first or second clarinet) for the last movement of Tchaikovsky Symphony 2 at MusicaNeo.com.

Thank you folks very much for your kind help. Thank you Karl for the first clarinet part and also emailing me the second part as well.

Needless to say I will keep all of this information in case I run into a piece that I can't transpose very well like the difficult last movement of Symphonie Fantastique is for C clarinet (in the 2nd part, the 1st part is in Eb). Or Berlioz Overture to Benvenuto Cellini is all in C and tricky.

It's surely much easier to buy the part or in this case it was extremely nice that Karl came through for this nice girl.

Again, many thanks. a lot of valuable information.
