Yvonne Desportes wrote many pieces for clarinet ensemble, and clarinet and
strings too, including a quintet for bass clarinet and string quartet. She
died about two years ago, but her family made a complete catalogue of all
her works. If you are interested, I will send you the address. The name of
her sons is Geminiani (Desportes was a maiden name).
