The Beethoven trio, Opus 87, originally for two oboes and English horn,
but a long time favorite of clarinetists is now available on my Web page
in MIDI and .MUS formats. My Web address is

To give the trio its full due requires retards and fermatas at appropriate
points. After listening to it from its uploaded location I realize that it is
more dependent on interpretation of tempo, articulation and dynamics
than just about any other piece in my collection. I have not added those
features, but I expect great things from you folks and I figure that you're
all up to the task! As Wolfie said to me the other day (Billy Graham
says he talks to God every morning, but I haven't quite gotten into that
league), "What's wrong with you young folks, anyway, Ollie, can't you
improvise?" 8-)

Happy playing!

Oliver
