Electra

N.B. The first bar is incomplete therefore the second (full) bar is the numbered bar ONE.

1. Bar 3: 2nd Trombone – slur should continue to final note as in other similar parts

2. Bar 6: Basses – first slur should be over all three notes not two

3. Bar 41: 1st Baritone – second note should be a quaver not a semiquaver as in other similar parts

4. Bar 52: Flugel and all Horns – There are three groups of 'rhythm' in this bar: There needs to be added slurs from the tenuto semiquavers into the next staccato semiquaver

5. Bar 61: Flugel and all Horns – remove accent from final note of bar as other players in this bar

6. Bar 129: Flugel and Baritones – add agogic accent (looks like a tenuto mark) to the top note of the runs. Refer to bar 125 as a similar example.

7. Bar 131: Flugel – add agogic accent to the top note of the run (like before)

8. Bar 183: 2nd Euphonium – add sharp signs to higher C and D

9. Bar 272: Solo Cornets 3&4 – add sharp sign to final A. N.B. — it returns to an A natural in the next bar

10. Bar 276: Flugel — add crescendo marking as Horns

11. Bar 314: Bass trombone, the notation should be as bar342 (low As not Cs

12. Bar 351: 2nd Trombone – second note should be E SHARP then the sharp sign on the minim E is redundant

13. Bar 400: Flugel – add mp and crescendo marking as Horns

14. Bar 423: Repiano — 1st note should be a C natural
