Alphie... I was going from memory on the Alpine Symphony and very well could be mistaken about the Contrabass clarinet (although...why not? everything is in there)

I just checked my Rudolf Kempe recording, and their listed instrumentation is:


4 Flutes
2 Piccolos
3 Oboes
English Horn
Heckelphone
Eb clarinet
2 Bb clarinets
C clarinet
Bass clarinet
4 Bassoons
Contrabassoon
20 French Horns (8 onstage/12 off stage)
6 Trumpets (4 onstage/2 off stage)
4 Tenor tubas
2 Tubas
2 Harps
Celeste
Pipe organ
18 Violin I
16 Violin II
12 Violas
10 Cellos
8 Basses
Percussion (wind machine, thunder machine, glockenspiel, cymbals, bass drum, snare drum, triangle, cowbells, tamtam, 2 sets of timpani)

There is also a notation saying that occasionally 6 of the woodwind and the 2 harps are doubled.

As most know, this was one of Strauss' favorite works. He once said about this piece:

"Finally I have learned to orchestrate."

Perhaps, just taking Orchestration 101 might have been less trouble...GBK
