<pedant alert>That’s Meeresstille und glückliche Fahrt — leaving the “h” out of the last word gives rise to a wholly unnecessary humourous association in English.</pedant alert>

That said, these works are almost certainly represented in Breitkopf’s Orchester Bibliothek series, so it may not be too hard for some librarian somewhere to lay hands on them and put them under a scanner...

...and that's not even the best German word commonly employed as a music title for such humorous associations with off-color English words. ''Schlittenfahrt'' receives my nomination for the grand winner in that particular category. The English composer Delius even composed a work with that exact title! :mrgreen:
