Misc. Notes:


This "urtext" or "scholarly" (scientific) edition was published at least 25 years ago in the EU (or 20 years ago in Italy, before 1992 in the former USSR). Hence, the edition is public domain in its country of origin or a government publication. Such editions are also public domain in Canada because they fail to meet the minimum 'threshold of originality' to qualify for copyright as an 'adaptation'. It may not be public domain elsewhere, however. More information about this can be found here.
Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.

Misc. Notes:

This is a re-typeset alternate triangle part which contains somewhat more useful timpani (as opposed to violin) cues. Most percussionists probably have their own (similar) part from orchestral excerpt books, but I am providing the part because I had typeset as a courtesy for the percussionists it when I worked as an orchestra librarian, and thought it might be useful for others.
