 Strauss Oboe Concerto cl part transposed at BSO?
Author: Simon Aldrich

Jonathan Del Mar wrote an article that appeared in Tempo (September 1984, pp. 18-26) entitled "Strauss Oboe Concerto: A re-examination of the available sources and editions". There are many (and many serious) misprints in the score and parts of this piece and the author consults 7 sources to determine what are most likely the right notes. The original manuscript is not the authoritative source. Strauss was 81 when he hand-wrote the full score and there are not only "badly-centered notes ... resulting in misreadings" but moments where "Strauss simply suffered momentary abberations - writing, beautifully neatly, notes that can only be completely erroneous."
At the end of the article Del Mar writes "Baltimore Symphony has the 1st Bb clarinet part transposed into A. If interested contact Mary Plaine." No contact info is given.
My question should be directed primarily to Ed Palanker, since he is in the Baltimore SO.
Do you know of a Mary Plaine at the BSO, or do you know of this BSO transposed part?
(Those who object to playing an orchestral part on a different clarinet to improve quality of execution and sound (something of which the composer might be in favor), please abstain for the moment.)
Thanks in advance,
