It (along with several other pieces) is in fact credited to Orff's longtime collaborator, Gunild Keetman, on at least one recent release of the Schulwerk”

6-9 AM via WCBN 88.3 FM

This program began with more than forty of Beethoven's little-known Canons, Epigrams, Pleasantries, Riddles & Jokes. 

As most of these pieces were of less than two minutes' duration, I typed like a fiend in human form for more than half of the show! 

Cannot guarantee absolute numerical catalogue accuracy, especially as the type face in the CD booklet used 3s and 5s which looked perilously similar!

Must say, these are some of my favorite recordings of anything by anybody, and I'd like to have them running on an endless loop from time to time.
