Hi, along hte line's of quartets for clarinets, I was looking inthe
local music store in Memphis and picked up one. Looks nice and
challenging :)

It is:

French Suite, by Yvonne Desportes for four Bb Clarinets
I. Prelude
II. Sarabande
III. Gavotte
IV. Menuet
V. Bourree
VI. Gigue

was copyrighted in 1939 by ALbert J. Andraud, Wind Instr. Mus. Libr
of Hyde Park, Cincinnati, Oh

Has anyone played this before.. or know where i can get a recording.
I've not been able to find one.

All parts are relatively short, the whole 1st clar part is but
4 pages long.

Thanks
