Corrections and Edits to the Orchestral Score
Page/System/Bar locators refer to the
1905 Bessel edition of the score
- 1.124 (Pg 11, Sys 2, Bar 5), 2nd Clarinet (in A) should play G♯
(sounding F) rather than G♮, consonant with vocal score and
Violin 1 part (and similar to previous measures)
- 1.232 (18/2/8), suggest Violins and Violas as well as Celli be
marked senza sord.
- 1.256 (20/2/3), Violin I, 5th note should be D♮, not E♮.
- 1.315 (25/3/6), Celli and Basses: have added slur on first two notes of
bar; only a suggestion, remove as thought appropriate
- 1.365 (31/2/1), Bass should start quaver–quaver–semiquaver
rest–semiquaver conforming to Bassoon and Cello, not quaver–dotted quaver
- 1.483 (Pg 40, Fig 31), all moving parts, 5th and 7th notes should be
G♭, not G♮. Should be corrected in vocal score as well.
- 1.798 (65/3/1), Bassoon, Celli and Basses: penultimate note should
be C♮. Should be corrected in vocal score as well.
- 2.66 (78/1/3–4), added accents to timpani strokes
- 2.170 (87/1/5), Horn 1 should play G♯—G♮
(concert C♯—C♮)
as per the voice and Clarinet 1. (correct in 1955 ed.)
- 2.202 (90/1/2), Celli/Basses, 5th note should be B♮
- 3.272 (139/1/2) Harp tuning should be C♭, D, E♯, F,
G♯, A♭, (correct in 1955 ed.)
- 3.277 (Pg 139, the bar before 98), 2nd Clarinet should be G♮
(sounding E♮) not the written G♭. (correct in VS)
- 3.297 (141/1/2), Viola, 1st note should probably be C♮,
not E♮. (corrected in 1955 ed.)
- 3.309 (141/2/6), Clarinet 1 should be C♮, sounding B♭.
(Also wrong in 1955 ed.)
- 3.314 (142/1/4), Cello, penultimate note should be E♮, not E♯
- 3.337 (144/1/1 et seq.), suggest timpanist tremolo between notes if only one
player
- 3.372 (147/2/2), the Horn stave, the third note is written as a doubly
dotted crotchet. This makes the bar too long, in that it does not add up.
It should be a quaver tied to a dotted quaver, followed by the octave
semiquaver. (correct in 1955 ed.)
- 3.416 (152/2/1), Viola, 6th notes should be D/B, octave below Violins, not
E♭/C
- 3.422 (153/1/1), Violin 1, changed marking col legno al segno
to col legno al arco.
- 3.436 (154/1/2), Clarinet 2, changed G♮ sounding F♮
to G♯ sounding F♯.
