Hello.
In the 2nd trumpet part for Overture, Scherzo and Finale, Op.52 (Schumann, Robert), a change of key is missing. If you look at the 1st trumpet part for the third movement you can see the direction "In As" at the start of the 75-bar rest before a little 10-bar passage that ends with a 29-bar rest leading to letter G. This sounds difficult to find but please look: the strange nature of space-time in trumpet parts of this era means all you have to do is find G and look at the line above it! This key change direction is missing from our scan of the 2nd trumpet part, with only the "back to E" direction to warn the player that something has gone wrong. (There is also a tiny mess where the "In As" is missing: maybe someone hated the transpoition so much that they Tippexed it out?
Anyway, there it is, or rather, it isn't. Can it be fixed please? I think I could and should fix the PDF myself but I have no idea how to upload a new version: sorry.
Thanks, and best wishes to all, Nevilley

I've tried adding a revised part on the work page.
