| Instrumentation | Orchestra (3 flutes, (one doubles as piccolo), 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 3 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, gran cassa, tamtam, triangle, tambour de basque, bass drum, 2 harps, strings) |
Tamtam on last page though not (it seems) mentioned on first page of score. Key debatable? -- opens around D-flat major, but not exactly in it, moves around B-flat minor, soon moves to B-flat major for a length of time (or at least, to two flats for a substantial portion of the score, fwiw) - the last chord of the score is D-flat minor/c-sharp minor...
