hi everyone. has anyone been able to purchase the wilby euphonium concerto without going outside the US? i'm looking to perform part of it in october and need to purchase it soon...anyone seen it for sale in this country?

Phil,

To my knowledge (and, please correct me if I am wrong), no one in the US stocks this for some reason. Probably because it's hard and the name Philip Sparke isn't attached in the upper-right-hand corner, but anyways...

Any place in the US like Hickey's, Stanton's, Shattinger's can order this piece for you - you will have to wait awhile if they can even get it. The problem is that the Wilby is published by Rosehill Music in the UK, which recently got purchased by Winwood Publishing. They are in the middle of record updating (and the solo getting a new cover and price I am sure), so finding it in a catalog might be difficult.

However, you can bite the bullet and purchase it from Steve. He has copies sitting on his shelf. At 16GBP, you are going to pay about $35 including some shipping, but you will at least have it. Hope this helps.

ps. You might be able to convince one of your friends to scan the solo part so at least you can start working. That Part II has way too many notes for comfort.
