| Before you announce it | Edition note: Kalmus also sells “Overture (original version)”, K-A5716 (https://www.kalmus.com/product_detail.php?id=40026): "2+1, 2+1, 2, 2 - 4, 2, 3, 1, timp, hp, str", its parts list naming a separate Piccolo and English Horn beside Flutes 1–2 and Oboes 1–2. That set needs a THIRD OBOIST for the cor anglais (one more player than this record). Confirm which version the parts are before costing. |
