I am trying to get a hold of the Johann Molter concerti for D clarinet Nos. 5 and 6. Apparently there is a German man who sells No. 6 out of his home, but I can't find his information on-line. Does anybody know his address or information (or have an idea of how I could find it?) For his 5th concerto, I've seen the clarinet part, but no piano transcription, but I think it exists somewhere. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks!

Greg Barrett at Northern Illinois University performed one of the Molter concertos around three years ago, you might send him an email and see what his source was.

Yes, if someone finds them I's love a copy too, so please post back! Have done several of these (1 and 4 in particular) as audition pieces but all 4 are very nice.

No. 5 is published by Carus-Verlag. It appears to be available from their website.
http://www.carus-verlag.com/index.php3?BLink=KKArtikel&ArtikelID=12659
The website shows the parts and score available for sale but makes no reference to a piano reduction.
No. 6 is listed with many other Molter works, including the other clarinet concerti in the catalog of the Badische Landesbibliothek in Karlsruhe:
Molter Catalog
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Vorwarts" (Forward) to go to page 2. The concerto is listed there.
According to the notes to Jean-Claude Veilhan's recording of the 6 Molter concerti, the sixth concerto was published "in 1989 (ed. G. Goldbach [publisher]) by Klaus Häfner." Häfner was a curator at the library and published a catalog of Molter's works. He is probably the person you are looking for. He appears to have been a Molter scholar and provided Veilhan with copies of the manuscript score and parts as well as information about Molter and/or the work. If he is still alive, you might be able to get contact information for him from the library. Or possibly, you might be able to obtain a copy of the score and parts from the library itself.
I can't find any online presence for the Goldbach publishing house. It may no longer exist. There are references to Klaus Häfner online. Try searching on ["klaus häfner" molter] without the brackets.
Best regards,

jnk,
Thanks for the great help. Ordered #5 and its on the way (ordered both clarinet part and the score). The Molter Catalog is in German and I'll have to get a German speaker to decipher the commands on it so I can order that piece too. It is not intuitively obvious!
Thanks again. Have recordings of both of these and I liked #5 a lot. It's a good bit different than the others I've played too. Maybe I'll use that for my next audition!
