I am getting ready for some auditions and my teacher/coach keeps pushing me to use copies of the actual clarinet part rather then playing from an excerpt book (I have The Working Clarinetist by Hadcock). I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to purchase the parts from. Thanks!
(for the record, I'm looking for Dances Galanta, Peter & the Wolf, Capriccio Espagnol, Daphnis, Beethoven 6 and 8, Brahms 3 and Mendelssohn.)

Luck's Music Library has single parts available for purchase. May I suggest that you buy the score along with the part, even a pocket score, so that you can see how your part fits into the piece IN CONTEXT. I've heard some very technically proficient players audition as if the excerpt was a solo piece rather than a part of a larger fabric. Remember, you're one of many when playing in an orchestra.

Luck's is one source, IMSLP is another (a database of public domain scores and parts, which contains most of what you listed), Van Cott Information Services' "Orchestral Musician's CD-ROM Library" is another. Most of what you listed should be pretty easy to find.
I'd also echo what Mark suggests, namely to get VERY familiar with what the orchestra is up to, before, during and after the clarinet solo passages. I was recently at a Yehuda Gilad master class which contained lots of excerpt players, and he never failed to ask the clarinetist both what the orchestra was doing, and what other ensemble voices could be heard prominently during the clarinet passage. (He even asked the audience to sing the string figures behind the player doing the Beethoven 6 excerpt...thereby humbling many of us in the audience as well as the player onstage!)

"Dances of Galanta" and "Peter and the Wolf" are both still under copyright and will probably be the hardest to come up with. All the others are available for free at IMSLP. For some reason they have chosen to list the Rimsky-Korsakov as "Spanish Capriccio"
Best regards,

I've heard that Dover publishing may have cheap scores, but I'm not 100% positive if they have those pieces.
I absolutely love that book by Hadcock. I could spend hours just reading it. Really fantastic and I'd suggest it to anyone on here.

I'm currently reading "Sound In Motion," on musicality, and (OH DARN), it talks about how one gains insight into phrasing from the music's harmonic structure. That reinforces my interest in having the score at hand when learning a piece.
(The book also has some interesting examples of flawed interpretation and good tips for difficult rhythms.)
