CHOP!

Dan,

I would be EXTREMELY interested in locating a version of the Beethoven 7th
arranged for wind octet. This past spring we performed the Mozart C minor,
and had a great time (it is fun with good players). And I have been trying
to find the Beethoven for over a year. I know that it was arranged with
Ludwig's blessing by the Polish oboist Triebensee (sp?).

Regards,
