About this item
The piano part is in places just a piano-conductor score, with the result that the music would be more or less complete on strings and piano. However this would not be effective enough for a performance, though it might prove useful at sectional rehearsals. The minimum number of instruments envisaged is: strings, flute 1, clarinet 1 & 2, clarinet 3 or bassoon, trumpets 1 & 2 and timpani (1 player, 2 drums). The clarinet 3 part partly covers the lack of bassoon, and similarly violin 3 for viola, although this can be used as an elementary part even if the violas are strong. Trumpet 3 is not essential and stays low throughout.
Instrumentation
2 Flutes & Piccolo, 2 Oboes, 3 Clarinets in Bb (3rd below the break), 2 Bassoons 4 Horns in F, 3 Trumpets in Bb (3rd easy), 3 Trombones, Tuba, Timpani (up to 5 drums with 2 players) Percussion (Side drum, Cymbals, Bass drum & Glockenspiel plus ad lib

Composer
Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)
Hector Berlioz (11 December 1803 – 8 March 1869) was a French Romantic composer, best known for his compositions Symphonie fantastique and Grande messe des morts (Requiem). Berlioz made significant contributions to the modern orchestra with his Treatise on Instrumentation. He specified huge orchestral forces for some of his works; as a conductor, he performed several concerts with more than 1,000 musicians. He also composed around 50 songs. His influence was critical for the further development of Romanticism, especially in composers like Richard Wagner, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Franz Liszt, Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler and many others.
