Dear Karl,
I have always played this extract with the same notes as you, as per the =
Bonade book (which I unfortunately haven't seen). Both the Kalmus and =
Boosey and Hawkes orchestral parts that I have seen are printed the =
same, with no change of the Fsharp to an Fnatural. I would be interested =
to know which is the the correct note.

Subject: [kl] Polovetsian Dances

It surprises me sometimes how mindless I can sometimes be in an =
orchestra
when the part is something I learned long ago and take for granted. A
student was working on the Presto of Polovetsian Dances (the first =
movement
of the suite). She was using my Kalmus part. When we got to the last =
solo
passage (2 measures after E if you have the part handy) I started =
playing it
with her: D-E-D-Fnatural-E-D| E-F-F#-G-Fnatural-E|, which is how I've =
always
played it. Then I stopped and realized that, in this part at least, =
there's
no natural sign on the last F(next-to-last-note) to cancel the sharp =
sign
two notes earlier. I checked in the only other source I own, Bonade's =
book
of excerpts, and, sure enough, the note is written with a natural sign. =
I
guess I originally learned it from the Bonade book, but I've played it
half-a-dozen times and never noticed if the F natural sounded wrong.

Which is right? Is the Kalmus part wrong (I can't imagine!) or is =
Bonade's
correction wrong? Bonade's way (F natural) sounds right to me, but I've =
been
playing it that way for 30 or so years. Never, unfortunately, under a
conductor who would have known the difference.
