*E♭ clarinet part is the transposed part for today's D clarinet part (in the Clarinet 2 part). In this case, there is still only 3 clarinets + bass clarinet playing, not 4 clarinet parts playing.

Ernest Bloch Legacy
|
Navigation etc.
Bloch ended up composing several symphonies (some with title - "America", "Israel" - some without - Symphony in E-flat major, Symphony for Trombone and Orchestra, Sinfonia Breve - at least 6 ?)
It seems of all of them, this is the 2nd, as a first dating from around 1897 remains in manuscript (see Symphonie orientale, B.5.) The last, after the E-flat symphony, was left incomplete (it seems?...)
Possibly performed in Basel in 1903?
