Hi Blake,

Can't help you too much with the spelling. However you spell it, his
pieces would be every bit as beguiling. In terms of making the music in
his trios as challenging for every player, he had few equals, in my opinion.

I don't get much feedback on his duet for clarinet and harp. No one has
ever commented to me about how it rather falls apart toward the end. I'd
be interested in your experience with it. I found the 18-? publication of
it in "Case X" at Berkeley and created a modern edition which you can find
at http://www.csudh.edu/oliver/clarmusi/clarmusi.htm

Any comments about that piece would be cheerfully received.

Oliver
