Sorry folks, I'm still a couple days behind in e-mail!

I just wanted to make the comment that the Brixel Bibliography is very
unreliable when searching for Eb clarinet literature. I was checking and
verifying in several bibliographic sources for various chamber pieces,
and many will not indicate specific members of the clarinet family (for
instance, Eb, Bb and bass trios are often listed merely as "Clarinet
Trios"). I found this rather annoying and hope to produce a definitive
solution as soon as I get back to work on my dissertation!!!
