Reduced orchestration by Jonathan McPhee. Originally only for staged performances where there is limited space in the pit; as of 2010 the publisher now allows concert performances of this reduced version, but in the USA only.
In 2010, Mr. McPhee newly computer-engraved this reduction, even creating a score that matches the pagination of the Boosey original version (1967 engraving); this McPhee reduction is available from Boosey.
For contents and durations, see the original version (preceding entry).
