Hey guys! Would anyone like to trade sheet music for Copland's Clarinet Concerto? I have the Grand Duo Concertant by Weber, Le Petit Negre by Debussy, and Mozart's clarinet concerto. Reply back and we could trade via email. Thanks!

Well, if you're talking trading original (and complete) parts for things that's one thing. If you're talking trading scans/photocopies...then that's downright illegal.

I bought it yesterday for less than $20. Even a poor student can manage that

What editions of these pieces do you have to offer? If you have something that's rare or historically significant or out-of-print or something like that, you might be able to make a deal.

Due to the cost and relative scarity of music, many of the European clarinet students I had at IMC had their music memorized. They would share copies among themselves or borrow from music libraries and then--instead of buying hard copies--simply memorize the ones they liked. It was amazing to me how well some of them could play without music and on clarinets we might consider inferior.

Back when Ravel's music was still under copyright, and you couldn't buy the clarinet part individually, there were 10th-generation Thermofax copies of the noodling from Daphnis & Chloe that got passed around. Now anyone can get the entire part in Volume VII of the Orchestral Musician's CD-ROM Library. http://www.vcisinc.com/vol7toc.pdf

Just as you owe it to yourself to have the Daphnis & Chloe part, you simply must have the Copland Concerto, at least in the clarinet and piano reduction. As Susannah says. you can get it for $19.95 from http://www.vcisinc.com/clarinetmusicpiano.htm#C291. If you copy it, you're stealing form Copland's estate. "Coughing up the cash" is exactly what you should do, if you have any hope of becoming an adult and having the respect of professional players.

You should also be familiar with the orchestration. Page images of the manuscript are available free at http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=copland&fileName=sket/sket0030/sket0030page.db&itemLink=S?ammem/coplandbib:@field%28NUMBER+@od1%28copland+sket0030%29%29.

You should also look at Leonard Bernstein's script for a Young People's Concert in 1970 where he talks about the concerto, and particularly the jazz elements. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=lbcoll&fileName=lbypc/0532/0532.db&recNum=0&itemLink=D?lbcoll:2:./temp/~ammem_cIJA::

You can also look at Bernstein's score for the piece, with markings and all. It's available to look at for free on the New York Phil website.
