 Hello chito 
 
www.luybenmusic.com has it under the category "clarinet and piano" for about $13.00.  Good piece!

 A search in http://worldcat.org doesn't turn up an orchestral version.  This doesn't prove such a version doesn't exist but it makes it highly unlikely.

 The only orchestra arrangement I was familiar with (and on this I am not an authority) was one that Stolzman did.   
 
I don't think that arrangement was published... 
 
...but I was wrong, it's a rental: 
 
http://www.boosey.com/pages/licensing/catalogue/cat_results.asp?classificationgroupid=&composerid=2802&stype=3 
 
 
It is listed as Finzi Bagatelles op. 23a.

PS:  inbetween the first "..." and the second "..." was a google search!

 There is a (string) orchestra version - they play it on Classic FM. I don't know who did the arrangement, but I think the soloist is (wince) Emma Johnson. Try contacting www.classicfm.com and see if they can give you any more information. 
 
Also try www.geraldfinzi.com. They may know.

 Robert Plane recorded the string version (by Lawrence Ashmore) and the concerto on Naxos. It's with the Northern Sinfonia. Can't say that Emma Johnson has recorded it, there is her doing it with piano.

 It is interesting how the term "bagatelle" came to be applied to music.

 Bagatelle referred to a game or games that were more or less table top varieties. some say they were the forerunners of pinball machines.  The musical reference seems to infer  light pieces of non serious music.

 If the orchestra parts are difficult to get you could do the clarinet/string quartet version of the Bagatelles, arranged by Sean Osborne, and have a string orchestra play the string quartet part. 
The cello part has a fair number of double stops which could be shared between the cellos (upper note) and the basses (lower note). 
 
I got the cl/string quartet arrangement directly from Sean a few years ago. I do not know if it has since been published.

 Hi, 
 
I played 2, 4 and then 3 this morning in church (offertory, communion, and postlude) and it went so very well. Finzi's piano accompaniment is lovely and there were a couple of times in rehearsal when I was so taken that I almost missed a few entrances (the performance was fine LOL). 
 
As has been said by someone on another thread "every clarinetist should have this composition in their repertoire." Beautiful writing.

 If you want to play the string version it is possible to rent the parts from B+H, only their rental fee was quite high so you'd only want to do this for professional performance. 
dn 
 
ps- i asked Sean Osborne about his version and he no longer sells/circulates the string parts due to copyright issues.

 "Bagatelle" is the French for "a trifle". This is how it came to be used for pieces of music.
