Martin,

I purchased both sets (1-4, 5-8) through woodwind service
1-800-527-6647 and the total cost was $30.00 the publisher is Masters
Music Publications P.O. Box 810157, Boca Raton, Flordia 33481-0157 (who
would have thought that anything "non-beach" gets done in Boca?)

As for a recording I have that too:

Partridge b.v.
P.O. Box 81
6800 AB Arnhem
The Netherlands
tel. 085-427275

Reference 1125-2

I find #4 Allegro Agitato to be really fiery ( with a great piano part too).

Does anyone know anything about the choice of keys? is there a
significance? (ascending tonality for each piece)
