>>Beginning at number 25 eighth-note beat 4 there is a long chromatic
passage
marked "tremolo" and "trem. dental", but there's a line break there, so I
don't know really how "trem." and "dental" fit together (if they do). How
exposed is this and, if you know the piece, what does it mean? trill each
note in the chromatic scale? I don't have a recording handy.>>

It is written "tremelo dental" without any sort of break other than the
space. I believe this term is one used for flutter-tongue. Although, I
must admit, this is a very unusual term for fluttertonge, and I'm a bit
stumped. But it just has to be!

>>Number 28 and 1 after - E natural or E-flat? It looks like the same
music as
number 7, where the E's are marked natural>>

This is exactly the same music as at reh. 7. It is very clearly an E
natural. Celli , violas and 2nd violins all have a concert D at that
point. I'm curious about what your part looks like to imply and e-flat!

>>5th of 24 - is the 6th eighth-note beat E-flat or natural? Is the E in
the
triplet in beat 11 E-flat or E natural? Whatever the answers are, I
assume
the next measure is the same.>>

I think your reh. 24 is in the wrong place!! In my score, the fifth
measure of 24 is the measure before 25, where the clarinet has rests on
eighth note beats 2,3,4,5,6!

You'll need to clarify for me. Especially the "beat 11" part of your
question!
