Double Bass - Double-Bass - Contrabasso

In the radio I heard Jean Francaix' funny "Mozart New Look" in an arrangement for double-bass & piano. http://www.sound-library.net/shop/en_UK ... 37587.html gives a short description:
'... happy, delightful and appealing 'spielmusik', music for playing on any combination of instruments, every note of which reveals the sensitive, yet mischievous composer. In the three-minute miniature the spirit of Mozart is omnipresent: While the double-bass plays an aria from 'Don Giovanni', Françaix, with a wink, has an aria from 'Carmen' played at same time. That's true 'musique pour faire plaisir'!
Francaix wrote it for double bass accompanied by 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, bassoon, contrabassoon and 2 horns. Is the piano score available anywhere?
