Can someone please tell me who the publisher is? Also, is there a CD with
this work on it?

Hope this is still timely!

Remember: this piece is funny!!

When I performed it, I was surprised that it evoked actual laughter!!

Also, the slow movement is uncanny: it's so simple, but so beautiful.
Tell your oboist to *wail*!

existed until just a few days ago. Anything you could tell me would be
helpful. Thanks in advance!
