Bartok Concerto for Orchestra Parts

PW-Factor

I am playing some Bartok Excerpts for a Master Class with Susan Slaughter in a few weeks. I have the excerpts from a book, but my teacher suggested I get a hold of a full trumpet part. Does anyone have a pdf they could let me use for it? No copyright infringement intended, and no profit will come from it, no worries. Purely educational.

While I am not for breaking copyright law either, how does one get a hold of a single part that is rental only? I'll tell you - you get a copy from someone, for yourself and for educational purposes only. Jumping down someone's throat on TH, telling them how wrong it is, is barking up the wrong tree IMHO. Learning through trading parts has been done for generations and will most likely continue to be done in the future. Not being able to discuss it on the TH will not change that.

Ever try getting a single part from Boosey and Hawkes? You can't.... renting the entire set of parts is the only way, and I'm not even sure they'll let you do that as an individual. By getting parts through Rob Roy, I'm not so sure Boosey and Hawkes or the Bartok estate is getting any money either. In other words, there is no money gained or lost to the Bartok estate at any point. I'd be curious how RRM does it? How does his agreement work?

I also realize that getting a score and copying out the entire part could also be done... but then what do you have? A copy of the part.

After I posted, I realize that I jumped down your throat... didn't mean to. I do have an idea, however. Why not get both parts? Get a copy of the original rental part and the RRM book. That way you have spent the money where it needs to be spent, but also have the visual of the original so you can learn and be prepared for future performances.

I still maintain, however, that getting single rental parts for study is not as bad as people make it out to be. Now, got to get back to ordering more music from Balquhidder for myself.

You can go to the Boosey and Hawkes website and browse through a large number of their collection of scores.

http://www.boosey.com/cr/perusals/browse.asp?site-lang=en

You do need to create an account, but it is free, and you can look at (and copy the trumpet parts) a great collection of music.

Unfortunately, they don't offer up their complete collection (including the Bartok Concerto), but there are tons of other great pieces there. Lots of Copland, Bernstein, Adams (including the complete DR Atomic opera, and the Dr Atomic Symphony).

Its a great resource, and I'm sure that they are well aware that there will be some folks copying parts from it.

How does one save (or even view) just the trumpet parts?

I did, indeed, mean the B&H page. IMSLP is a pretty neat site I've played with for a while. Thanks for this new resource!
