Instruments

Therefore you will find instrumental substitutions very often, such as horns by saxes, oboes by flutes, violas by a third violin, doublebasses by a second cello. Normally you will find a piano part, which takes function of the harp or will assist you during the rehearsing phase.

About instrumental fitness

The parts are adapted to the reduced instrumental fitness of the young players. At the string section positions have been reduced, alltogether very difficult stages have been simplified. To get a better presentation keys are sometimes different from the original.
 

However we set great value upon proximity of the arrangements to the original compositions. Character and special expression should stay in spite of arrangement.
