Ah! Horse of a different color!

Actually, those parts don't look so bad on my computer, either, but the scan is a little light. It seems to be a Schott edition, but more useful may be that the scanned parts came from the Fleisher Collection of Orchestral Music in Philadelphia (part of the Free Library of Philadelphia). The physical parts can probably be rented from them if you're not in Philadelphia (Fleisher doesn't charge a rental fee for orchestras based in Philadelphia), assuming Fleisher still has them.

If that's of interest to your MD, you can google the Free Library of Philadelphia to find contact information. Getting around that website is a little bit arcane, so if you have trouble finding the Fleisher contact information, email me privately and I'll send it to you.

For anyone not familiar with it, the Fleisher Collection is a monumental resource for orchestral repertoire of all kinds, from standard warhorse repertoire to obscure, never played pieces.
