Subj: Re: [kl] Pieces for woodwind quintet

Curtis,

If you are looking for quintet music, I suggest that you take a look
at Trevor James' site http://www.trevcomusic.com. He has perhaps the
most complete selection of quintet music (new and old) in print, he is
very helpful if you contact him, and he will ship the music very
promptly. (This has not been my experience with Sheet Music Plus.)
