Timpani and percussion, including offstage and onstage percussion, are combined in a single part for one or

need to pick and choose if personnel are limited. Cuckoo is cued in woodwind parts.
Harp
Strings
Offstage instrumentation is incorporated into the pit.
Annotation notes:
Wind instruments are indicated in every staff system in which they play using the above two-character abbreviations.
An instrument plays the indicated part throughout the system unless otherwise indicated. If an instrument’s
abbreviation is written above a multi-part staff (e.g. “Clarinetti”), the instrument plays the top part of that staff; if
below, the instrument plays the bottom part.
A plus sign in front of an annotation, e.g. +H1, indicates the instrument is to be muted; if absent, the instrument is
open. For practical purposes of muting and unmuting, these indications occasionally contradict the original printed
markings of con sordina and senza sordina; the printed markings should be ignored.
Harp and string parts are unchanged from the original.
