Does anyone know of such an arrangement and if so who publishes it?

Hello Simon, Here at University of Central Arkansas we concoct a complete series of concerts which creatively use faculty collaboration. (Such assonance!) Of the pieces you'd be interested in knowing about, we have played a number of great post-Romantic transcriptions; we call them "Smahler Mahler" and "Baby Bruckner" concerts. Apparently there are a number of these works floating around. We have so far performed: Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde (Schoenberg) - about 12 parts, including one horn as the only brass Mahler: Symphony Nr. 4 (Schoenberg's student) - two pianos, four hands Bruckner: Symphony Nr. 7 (Schoenberg's student) - again, uses about a dozen people, one horn. Bruckner: Symphony Nr. 8 (Norman Boehm) uses above ensemble with added trumpet I don't believe that Mahler's fourth has an instrumental reduction other than the piano version. the only recording I remember listening to was done by a Scandinavian group, I thought - Ostrobothnian, maybe? If you have any interest in these works, feel free to email me privately, and I can get more information about them. Brent ************************************ Brent A.
