Orchestral Scores

Author: Mike_M

I need to determine the scoring (Clar. I/II (Bb/A/C), Bass, Eb, etc.) of about a dozen orchestral pieces. Can anyone recommend a resource to find this info (without going and buying the scores)?

You can get a free orchestral catalog from Lucks Music at www.lucksmusic.net, which has the full scoring inside.

A lot of "us" in here have this information at hand, why not ask which works?

Kalmus (www.kalmus-music.com) also has an on-line catalog that lists instrumentation.

Lucks lets you download their catalog as a pdf file, but I don't believe it lists instrumentation for every piece.

If you would like to list the pieces here, I can probably give you the info.

any music library should have scores or at least mini scores of most works, you could check there

Yes, I found that the Luck�s catalog gives instrumentation for many, but not all pieces. Also, it's not clear if the clarinet parts are written for C, Bb, or A.

I didn�t want to burden you with a list, but since you offered (diz and rmk) I�ll post the works tomorrow (I left the list at home).

Thanks

OK, since you offered�

Can anyone determine the instrumentation required (of the clarinet section) for these pieces?

I�ve searched the catalogs from Luck�s and Kalmus, but it�s not evident what key the clarinet parts are for (Eb/D/C/Bb/A).

Barber, Symphony No. 1
Mozart, Requiem � I think there are arrangements with and w/o clarinets
Schumann, Manfred Overture
Stravinsky, Firebird Suite (2nd Edition)
Brahms, Violin Concerto
Glinka, Russlan & Ludmilla Overture
Beethoven, Symphony No. 3
Moszkowski, Suite for two Violins and Orchestra
Berlioz, Benvenuto Cellini Overture
De Falla, The Three Cornered Hat
Lizst, Piano Concerto No. 2

Thanks

Here's what I know off the top of my head; I will check the others and post them tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to it:

Mozart, Requiem Kalmus, Bb, A, C; Barenreiter, Bb only (of course the original uses basset horns in F)
Stravinsky, Firebird Suite (2nd Edition) A Clar. (I assume you mean the 1919 Suite)
Brahms, Violin Concerto Bb and A
Glinka, Russlan & Ludmilla Overture A Clar.
Beethoven, Symphony No. 3 Bb Clar.
Berlioz, Benvenuto Cellini Overture C Clar.
De Falla, The Three Cornered Hat Bb and A
Lizst, Piano Concerto No. 2 A Clar.

Just for the record�

The Barber 1st symphony calls for 2 A clarinets and Bb Bass. Awesome piece!
