Score calls for "contrafagotto e serpente," (4th mvt only) playing in unison. This suggests the doubling of the cbn part with a modern tuba. However, no separate tuba part is provided in published materials; the part is normally played on contrabassoon.
The Bärenreiter ed. by Christopher Hogwood includes a 30-bar transition between the 3rd & 4th mvts—a transition that was later deleted by the composer.
