Peter,

That Electra part is one tough nut! I think my edition (don't remember which
edition) was in G for much of the opera and some unusual clef changes (some
tenor clef)....not to speak of the notation mistakes in registration. Once
sorted out....it's a terrific part. It's and hour and 15 or so minutes of
powerful music. Make that "pit stop" before you start!

Good luck and have fun.
