Uh oh,

My edition has the dum, dum, rest in m. 111 in the reprise !! And we've
played it this way without anyone commenting that it's awkward. But, now
that I've been informed, I'll recommend to the others (if we can ever again
gather the required wind players in the same room at the same time), that we
omit it the second time around. 2 oboe, 2 bassoon, 4 Bb clar (2 playing the
basset horn parts), 4 horns !!!, and a contrabass. Likely never to happen
again at my level of playing. Very sad.

Thanks !
Bob L.
