Dear Ron, I think the piece you listed is Called "Caprice on Danish and
Russian Airs (pub. Internat'l) It is a real gem but also this one is a
quartet for Fl, ob, cl, and piano. I have done also with a harpist
playing the piano part and with some small changes, works rather well.
Maybe a guitarist can handle it as well. The piano writing is rather
brilliant (as are the other parts) much of the time. The best version
is the orig. Really enjoyable!
