Notes Recombined from the parts already available and the Concert ending typeset by Quentin Clare. *Contrabassoon can be played by 3rd bassoon player as only playing 8 bars in octaves to bassoon 3. Optimized for Booklet or Duplex printing, so some of the parts have front pages and others don't. For printing, use "fit to printable area" in order to maximize printing size.
