Hello,
The following composition: Weihegesang,_Op.65_(Grützmacher,_Friedrich) is listed for 4 cellos. This edition is actually for 1 cello and piano, not 4 cellos.
Thank you for all you do.

Hello Ruthrozen. The cover of the edition says this work can either be played by 4 cellos, or by solo cello and piano (or organ or harmonium), so all these possibilities have been included in the categories.

But since the version for 4 cellos is not actually present, isn't listing it that way somewhat confusing?

We list it for all original instrumentations, even though not all of them currently might be uploaded. While it might cause a bit of confusion on a few pages, please bear in mind that we currently have over 230,000 scores on almost 65,000 work pages. To have to tag these pages multiple times would create so much extra work, in addition to the fact that each page would have to be monitored in such a way that we could compare potential tags to existing tags. It's not very possible . . . .

I understand; thanks.
