Does anyone one have a scan of Tchaikovsky's Mozartiana (Suite No.4) entire 4th mvt (Theme and Variations) transposed for A clarinet (from C clarinet)?
I have variations 8, 9 and 10 transposed but it would be helpful to have the whole 4th movement.
If nobody has it I might have to bite the bullet and add a ledger line under the existing bottom ledger line and remove the top ledger line, and add 3 flats, to put the movement up a minor third for A clarinet.
Thanks in advance,
Simon

Here is one I made several years ago. It was in an earlier version of Finale, so some of the text fonts look strange, but I think it is still readable.

This is certainly more enjoyable with a transposed copy, but if you can read bass clef than the sight transposition isn’t that hard: add three flats, as you said, but read the notes as in bass clef.

Charly Salinger above made an entire part. It is beautifully done, and every orchestral clarinetist would benefit to own it. Because when that piece comes up, you want to be prepared!
Just contact him and he will take care of you. I purchased mine for about $20. Worth every penny.

Thank you rmk54, that's a great resource and very generous of you to share. We're playing this in a couple of weeks and your insert is so much clearer than the scrawled manuscript in our orchestral part!
If you're ever in the North of England let me repay with a pint (or two...)

Does no one play it on a C clarinet?
Back in the mid-20th century (when I was a student) not very many players, at least in the U.S., used C clarinets, but I would think among clarinetists of the past 30-40 years or so, many would have played this on a C.
Or did you mean that it's more often played on an A than on a Bb clarinet? A lot of it, especially the big cadenza, does lie much better on an A than on a Bb. But the original C clarinet part is, IMHO, more easily playable than either.
