Misc. Notes scan: score scanned at 600dpi
filter: score filtered with 2-point algorithm explained in High Quality Scanning. I provide the original scanned version and the filtered, because the filter does some changes (smoothening, sharpening borders) and some portions of the scan get lost sometimes (when they are too small e.g.) - so you can choose your favorite. You may ask me for a manually cleaned version.

Misc. Notes To avoid confusion if attempting to play this together with other versions: the first bar (just one quaver upbeat) is shown (and counted) as a whole bar's rest in parts other than flute/trumpet; also, bar 5 and bar 90 have been added (they're not in the original, nor the piano duet etc.; strictly speaking, it's the second half of bar 89 and first half of bar 90).
