GRAN PARTITA IN NEW CLOTHES

I have had a communication from my good friend, Mordechai Rechtman, the
former Principal Bassoonist of the Israel Philharmonic.

He wrote me that at a request of some string players in Holland, he
transcribed the Gran Partita for two string quartets plus one double
bass.
The arrangement is such that it can be performed with oboe OR clarinet
and eight strings.
Or Oboe and Clarinet and seven strings.

The premiere for string only will be in Holland.

Rechtman is known world wide for his woodwind arrangements and according
to his letter, he has some other arrangement goodies for clarinet and
strings.
