Hi David,

This is one of the few pieces that I LIVE to play someday!! It is the
"find" of my dissertation, "Chamber Music for the Eb Clarinet" (yet to be
written!!!) The instrumentation is flute, oboe, Eb clarinet, Bb clarinet
and piano. If you e-mail me privately, I will tell you where I got my
copy and how much it cost -- however, I will be going off-line tomorrow
afternoon for the holiday closure. I also have a recording by members of
the Philadelphia Orchestra which I had taped off a radio broadcast, and
also a copy of the liner notes from the radio station. Hey, maybe you're
even interested in playing it -- I've had a helluva time trying to get
players who a) are interested, and b) have the combination of technique
and taste to pull it off!!

Drop me a line back.
