A Myaskovsky Clarinet Concerto?

[eschiss1]

Worldcat lists a copy of Moore's clarinet concerto here if this helps at all...

Just as an update I got a response but it was to re-direct me to a different outfit that I was advised hold the actual physical materials (recordings, scores etc) rather than just the digital info that BMC hold. I have re-posed the question there. I am hopeful I will actually get a response even if not the actual answer to the query.

A response from Heritagequay.org:

"Thank you for your enquiry about music held at Heritage Quay.  I can confirm that we hold a score for Timothy Moore's concerto for clarinet and strings (BMC/SC/64174). It appears that the movement titles correspond with the recording link you provided: I Allegro (listed in the score as 5.5 minutes), II Adagio (listed as 3 minutes) and III Rondo: Allegro (listed as 5 ¾ minutes). From a brief listen, the opening bars do seem to correspond too.

If you would like to research this score further, we can offer a free online appointment where you can view original archive materials on a Microsoft Teams video call with an Archives Assistant. Online appointments are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10am and 3pm and last for one hour. Appointments must be booked at least one week in advance. You can book an appointment via our online booking form. Select the online appointment option and the calendar will show available dates in black. Select the date and time you would prefer and fill in the details. The reference number for the score in questions is: BMC/SC/64174.

Alternately, within copyright legislation we are able to provide you with copies of up to 10% of a published score, which costs a fee. The following link provides more detail about copying costs. Please advise us if you would prefer to pursue this option, and we will provide you with a quote for this service.

I hope this information is helpful to you and do let us know if you have any questions.

All the very best,"


I am not sure if I will take it any further as it was more a matter of curiosity than anything else and it seems to me that this "Myaskovsky" concerto is highly likely a hitherto unrecorded concerto by Timothy Moore.

Thanks a lot for the research, Greentiger! Really fascinating in many regards: an unexpected solution to this problem, a clever way of finding it out and a composer new to me. Great!

Thank you very much for solving this mystery through a unique perspective, Greentiger: a totally unexpected development!

I wonder if his family are aware?  Or his (estate) lawyers for that matter!
