I think publishing info was discussed a couple of months ago (if you have
access to the archives). If not, maybe whoever had it will send it to you?

Immer Kleiner ("always shorter"?) is a clarinet solo (I played it with band
accompaniament) where the clarinetist takes the clarinet apart during the
course of the piece. You start playing the clarinet as usual, then, at the
appropriate time, remove the bell and continue playing. By the time the
piece is over, you're playing only the mouthpiece!

Good luck!
