Meyerbeer wrote a charming Fantasia for Clarinet and String Quartet which was recorded by Dieter Klöcker (and can be found on YouTube). I have been unsuccessfully looking for sheet music. Beside the recording, the piece has no record in the WorldCat library catalog. Does anyone know if it was ever published? If so, is there a copy that I could obtain? Thanks!

It doesn't say Meyerbeer, but it's the same piece I found on a CD with Meyerbeer.

Your link is definitely Spohr. It seems that the Meyerbeer has only been recorded by Klöcker, suggesting that he unearthed it along with the many other 18th and 19th century clarinet compositions he brought to light. However, Bärenreiter published the Meyerbeer clarinet quintet he rediscovered in 2001, which gave me hope that sheet music for the Meyerbeer fantasia is also out there somewhere.
