In fruitful off-list correspondence regarding the Felix Weingartner
Quintet (Op. 50 for clarinet, violin, viola, cello and piano)
it was pointed out that I should remind the list that the five parts
for this piece are available for download (free) from Eastman's Sibley
Music Library:
https://urresearch.rochester.edu/handle/1802/291/browse-author
a "long-term, digital repository for the management, dissemination and
stewardship of digital materials".

Luckily for chamber music aficionados, some organizations are
digitizing (scanning and putting up on the internet) out-of-print
chamber music (such as the Weingartner).
Other excellent sites, aside from Eastman's, are:

Does anyone know if there exists a recording of the Robert Kahn
Quintet in C minor Op. 54 for cl, vln, hn (or vla), vcl and piano?
I do not know of a database or site that lists in-print (or out-of-
print) recordings?
For example, Michael B, how did you know that there is an out-of-print
cd of the Weingartner Quintet (Fontec, FOCD 20008 (1997))?
I have spent hours scouring the internet for a recording of the
Weingartner.
Even armed with your information (catalogue number) I still find no
mention of the recording anywhere on the internet (granted I am doing
ham-fisted google searches).
I am clearly not looking in the right places!!
