Actually Osborne reworked "Rhapsody" somewhat for the clarinet version,
so it's not just a literal transcription for clarinet. You can find the
original manuscript of the bassoon version(pdf version for each page),
and a few articles about the piece on the IDRS web site.

Sean recorded "Preludes: Book 1" on his American Spirit CD. They are
engaging pieces, and are beautifully played.
