IMSLP Forums

I'm currently trying to recreate the score to the Ferdinand Ries Symphony No. 3, Op.90 and am wondering if the parts on this site are complete. The reason that I ask is because I recently tried listening to what I've completed so far compared with a recording that I have (Zürcher Kammerorchester under Howard Griffiths) and the instrumentation from that (flute, oboe[?], bassoon, strings) doesn't match up with the instrumentation in the parts-book. (flute, 2 violins, 2 violas, cello, bass.) Did Griffiths simply use a different arrangement? Please help! Thanks in advance.

The version on IMSLP is an arrangement of the original, which is scored for 2 fl, 2 ob, 2 cl, 2 bsn, 2 horns, 2 tpts, 2 trombones, timp, strings. The autograph is in the State Library in Berlin. The original instrumental parts published by Simrock are in the British Library.

Okay, thanks. (*sigh!* Ten months work for nought... )

I can imagin, that - especially in times of corona - the chamber music version is highly estimated. So i would recommand to upload your edition.

yes you could upload your version, and then go through it with the autograph to make a new edition of the original version (a lot of the notes in the string parts will already be there)
