Came across a version of Piazzolla's Oblivion for clarinet quartet on youtube:

Any idea where to get the music for this?

Don't know about that one, but there is a version of Histoire du Tango for clarinet quartet available.

There is a version for saxophone quartet, which you could transpose, at:
<http://www.scribd.com/doc/11998277/Astor-Piazzolla-Oblivion-Sax-Quartet>
Leduc in Paris publishes Histoire du tango for four clarinets, as well as for clarinet and piano. They also publish a piece called "Four for Tango" for clarinet quartet.
I believe Piazzolla published mostly in Paris. I'd be interested to know if scores are also available in Buenos Aires or elsewhere.

I've done the 'Histoire' which is why I was interested in doing something new by Piazzola.

I did some googling and found the arranger's website here:

http://www.jtownpublications.com/quartets.html

There are actually a bunch of other arrangements on the site as well.

I can't help wondering about the copyright status of the Jeremy Eig arrangements of Piazzolla.

Four for Tango by Piazzolla for clarinet quartet is also published by Lemoine (who also publishes Histoire, not Leduc).

I'm assuming the copyright is in order because I just found it for sale at 'just for winds' as well:

Think I'm gonna go ahead and just order the part...

Re the Oblivion quartet for four saxophones -- my group tried it, and it is useless.

I arranged the Oblivion and some other Piazzolla pieces for clarinet quartet since I am not crazy about either the 'Histoire' or Four for Tango arrangements. They are very good and a lot of fun but I think a few spots are transcribed a little be too literally from the originals.

Also, don't judge my playing of the Oblivion too harshly, it was the first time I tried recording a quartet by myself... it is hard to do.

I confess to an error. Henri Lemoine published the Piazzolla tango arrangements for clarinet, not Leduc, as I said. Sorry.

Our quartet "Mpingo" has performed Jeremy's arrangement of Libertango; a hoot to play and the audience loved it!
