When I looked at a CD liner, I see that you are correct. My remembered
perception, from listening to it, was that Scheherazade is divided into
more songs than that, more like a dozen or so. My error.

Since some of the piece is repetitive, I suppose that SheetMusicPlus's
description was meant to say that the arrangement eliminates repetitions
of the basic themes.

(...heh! and you fell into the same trap as I did about the spelling...
it is Scheher_a_zade)

Thanks,
Bill
