Yes I did know it went down to one known set. That is now in the Beethoven
Archive in Bonn. It is quite possibly by Sedlak, but the identification is
not proven as far as I know. I didn't know you were instrumental in reviving
it, Dan. Parts are now available from Compusic, Schottstaedt as Laurence
says, and Ut Orpheus in a new arrangement by Destri. After Tony's comments I
am going with the Compusic (and his transcription for C clarinet).

Tony Pay and OAE played the Scherzo at the concert I heard, and I enjoyed
that. It is a tone down from the orchestral original, and the development of
the Finale is omitted.

The theme of this winter's Kammermusik, with Chris Weait directing, is
"Symphonic Harmoniemusik", so it has to be tried! We are also playing the
Mozart Linz, Prague and Paris symphonies (the Prague is in a modern
arrangement by Geoffrey Emerson, which is very good, the other two
contemporary) and Haydn #85 and #92. That should keep us busy for a weekend.
