Misc. Notes These files are part of the Orchestra Parts Project. Why 1865? Could this possibly be instead a reprint of the B&H first edition (of 1810)? (In a score, could possibly be deduced or anyway guessed from the order of instruments - which has changed over the years- but possibly harder to guess in parts)
