Wow! That was quick!  I make a request last thing
at night, go to bed, and there it is before breakfast!

It looks great!  Unfortunately it would get too long
if you added any more bars.  I've added the correct midi
instruments (strings sound poor, but a piano sounded
worse on this piece!)  I've also removed the time
signature as you suggested, but I've done nothing
about the staff spacing.  Any suggestions for this?

I'll add it to the docs so we can see how it looks.
I'm not sure about the copyright position though :(
Valentin's happy, but maybe others will not be.  We
already have Ravel's sonatine (1905) in Keyboards,
so maybe these few bars are OK too.

Many thanks again.
