[edit] Keys of movements and orchestrations

I think the keys of the movements should be included. I also think the orchestration should be included. A. Wang ^{(talk/contrb.)} 22:56, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The number of movements

The composer intended a two-movement symphony. I think it should be listed as two movements in the encyclopedia article. A. Wang ^{(talk/contrb.)} 23:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two pianos or four hands?

Dover publishes the score which with its list of instruments etc. should settle the matter (also copies in the library on campus here)- will have to go look. There are cases where even this wouldn't settle the matter (Nielsen symphony 5 with its first published edition whose "revisions" removed important material only restored in the recent scholarly edition) but this is hopefully not one of them.

I looked at the full score provided in this article; It looks like one piano - four hands; I don't think it is two pianos anymore. I changed it to what I am assuming. A Wang ^{(talk/contrb.)} 18:44, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
