Instrumentation of Version for Reduced Orchestra Flute Oboe (optional) Clarinet (in B and A) Bassoon (optional) Horn Harp Piano (substitute for Harp) Violin I Violin II Viola Violoncello Contrabass only Strings (minimum 1-1-1-1-1) illegal

Notes on the isInstrumentation This chamber orchestration was carefully written for a ﬂexible instrumentation, allowing for different performance situations. Strings may be performed one on a part, or with more players as maycopy be appropriate to the venue. The arrangement may be performed using a piano if a harp is not available, and the oboe and bassoon parts are both optional. When performing without either or both of the double reeds, the players must be directed to play all cues for any absent instruments. These obligatory cues are shown in the conductor score for reference. There are also some ossia staves that need to be played in absence of an instrument. Standard cues to bring Copyingplayers in after long rests should not be played; according to convention these types of cues do not appear in the conductor score. All string parts should be played non- divisi.Review —Bruce Rockwell
