Dittersdorf 2nd Concerto Score

[Rob Sleeper]

Hi everyone,

I really need some help. I won a concerto competition at my school playing the 1st and 2nd mvts of the Dittersdorf 2nd Concerto in E Major. The prize is playing the concerto with the school orchestra. Does anyone know where I can locate the score and individual instrument parts to the Dittersdorf? I need the score and the parts by Feb 8th.

Thanks so much.

Wait, the PRIZE is you getting to play it with the full orchestra and YOU have to provide the scores for the whole orchestra?

Well I also get a cash prize as well with playing with the orchestra. One the competition sheet is a list of concertos that people can play. The list is basically what is in the school music library and what has been performed in the past with the orchestra. However, there are no bass concertos on that list. That is why I need the score/parts.

Have you tried the closest college? Even some small community college music libraries have extensive collections. Many college music libraries will loan or rent out specific pieces, especially knowing that it is going to a student in a situation like this.
