Lucky you, Abe!

I have a history with this recording that I posted here once. Briefly,
I used to play along with just the one disc we owned (of some of the
last movement), speeded up (though I didn't know that at the time!) on
my Bb clarinet.

I'd love to hear it now. Perhaps it's been transferred, or perhaps Mike
Bryant owns a copy. I'll ask him.

How are the movements distributed across the discs?

Tony
