Ed. Erwin Ratz / Karl Heinz Füssl / Reinhold Kubik; new engraving, 1998. New edition by Kubik, 2010.
The score suggests in places that the 2 harp parts be doubled. The composer also calls for 2 or more celestas if possible. Oboe parts may need some adjustment: Eh is a separate part in the 4th mvt (the only mvt requiring 5 players); mvts 2 & 3 each call briefly for 2Eh (in the ob3 & ob4 parts). Net result: never are more than 2Eh called for simultaneously. In 4th mvt, 4th cl plays D-cl, and bcl is in A (in the earlier mvts in B-flat). Tmp2 should cover perc in the Scherzo; otherwise an extra percussionist is required.
There is some controversy over the order of the inner movements; Andante second and Scherzo third has the most adherents at the moment. Rehearsal numbers for these two mvts vary; score and parts must therefore be collated to ensure agreement.
Also somewhat controversial: whether there are 2 or 3 great hammerstrokes in mvt 4.
