Hello all

Does anyone know where I can find the Felix Weingartner Quintet Op.
50 in G minor for clarinet, strings and piano?
I programmed it on a chamber music series, thinking I could get it
from the ICA Research Center Score Collection at the University of
Maryland. The Weingartner was listed as being in the Collection.
I managed to speak with the manager of scores at the specific library
which houses the Score Collection and he informed me that the
Weingartner was lost in 2001 but evidently they overlooked removing
it from the catalogue at that time.
Several sheet music stores have contacted the last publisher of the
Quintett (Breitkopf) but Breitkopf will not do a single special-order
printing for this piece.

Google searches turn up nothing and I have no experience looking for
out-of-print music.
Does anyone know any rare-music sleuths or out-of-print sheet music
mercenaries that might be able to track down a copy?

Thanks,
