  • The Schott edition parts appear to be out of print.
  • The tuning is the Viennese fourth/third tuning, but in E♭ major, one semitone higher than the usual D major:

\relative c { \key c \major \clef bass \omit Score.BarLine \omit Score.TimeSignature bes1 es g bes }
Hence, the solo double bass is transposed, is written in D major and sounds a semitone higher than usual.
