The search for this sheet music is proving to be more elusive than expected. On the Royal Conservatory syllabus for Grade 10, the Rondo (3rd movement) of this piece is offered as a performance option. However, the Smart Music program includes the entire piece. Based on hearing this piece on Smart Music I'd love to hear a recording played by clarinet, and to order the music for a future performance.
The problems I'm running into are that this is offered as music for the bassoon or euphonium, or if it's arranged for clarinet only the Rondo is available.
Anybody know how to find the entire piece for clarinet and piano?

I know Richard Stoltzman recorded it in it's entirety with the English Chamber Orchestra a while ago. You may have to purchase the bassoon edition. You could either read it from that (a good exercise in bass clef reading) or transpose it if you aren't fluent in bass clef.

The clarinet/piano edition of K.191 that I have is published by Edition Musicus New York, Inc.
The clarinet part is arranged and edited by Paul Dahm.
The copyright is 1963, and I probably bought it shortly after that. Thus, I'm not sure of current availability...GBK

Very interesting. I haven't seen or heard the version by Paul Dahm. There surely must be a lot of re-writing, as the bassoon concerto doesn't make good clarinet music as it stands.

Thanks for the leads! I've found the web site and phone number for Edition Musicus, Inc. and will follow up. So this really isn't played often as a clarinet piece then? Will let you know what happens.

FYI, Edition Musicus, Inc. responded to my e-mail request and said that they have the entire part for clarinet and piano. They must be a smaller company since they don't take credit card for payment and asked for an international money order instead. So that's all right, it'll just take a little longer to arrive, that's all.
The pianist asked what the piano part was like. She found the piano part of the Beethoven Trio for cello, clarinet and piano to be "very satisfying" (Beethoven would have the pianist in consideration, of course!). But she handed back the Weber Introduction, Theme and Variations after our performance because the piano part was written badly, even after she'd made some adjustments to make it work a little better under her fingers. So we'll see what Mozart wrote, although wouldn't this be a transcription of an orchestral piece for bassoon and orchestra? In any case we'll see what it's like once it arrives.
I would just rather have the entire piece in my library instead of buying the individual movements 1 and 3, even if we end up deciding to play portions of it. It's interesting that the Royal Conservatory syllabus asks for only movement 3, the Rondo, and that piece is sold separately.
