Misc. Notes For use with the original orchestral parts (or piano part)
Arrangement of cello concerto largely with shifting of octave, occasional note changes but harmony kept the same. Popper cadenza transcribed and added as well. Additional edits by Varun Soontornniyomkij (b. 1997) on bars 522-526, and bars 6 and 12 on the cadenza, much appreciation to them!
