This is in reference to the posting about clainet quintets:

There is an organization called the Cobbett Association which is dedicated
to the dissemination of information about little-known/underplayed chamber
music. Its organizers publish a newsletter four times a year, which
includes articles on underplayed composers, new CD releases and literature
suggestions for various combinations. In the last year there have been
articles on quintets for clarinet and strings and quartets for
clar/violin/viola/cello, as well as articles like, "So what else do you
play after reading the Beethoven septet?" They are also starting a
lending library out of Illinois for distributing copies of many of the
mentioned works. (It's a little string and piano heavy right now, but
will surely improve with time.) I recommend this group highly to anyone
interested in chamber music.
