Misc. Notes Obligato parts (Oboe, Violin) as well as Piano/Harmonium parts are for small ensemble arrangements only. Some parts seem to be missing (Flute 2, Oboe/English Horn, French Horn 3-4, Trombone 1-2). Possibly reprinted from one of the series of such arrangements issued by publishers like Schott, Benjanim, etc. Engraving does not look like Muzgiz's typical production from the era.
