Hey Dan, you're up early! It must be 6am in Cal. now!

I've heard about the catalog and did wonder if that was it. What is it that
is so fascinating about this catalogue? I assume it can't be very complete
since the clarinet concerto is only opus 107 (I think) and Köchel has it at
622. Can you tell us something about it or recommend any reading on this?

David
