Re: Best book for excerpts

I hate to disagree with Paul, but the International books are outmoded. Vol. 1-4 were edited by Robert McGinnes and are small snippets. Also, they're full of errors. Vol. 5-8 were edited by Drucker but had to be withdrawn because the copyrights couldn't be cleared.

The Bonade book has his markings but also has many errors.

Instead, get The Orchestral Musician's CD-ROM Library, Vols. 1 - 12 http://www.vcisinc.com/, which has the complete parts. Better yet, get the complete scores from http://imslp.org/. You can't understand your part unless you see it in context.
