Score in C.  All instruments sound as written, except the Piccolo, Glockenspiel, Crotales, Xylophone, and Double-bass, which are notated in their standard transpositions. Accidentals apply for the entire bar, but only in the register in which they are marked. Cautionary accidentals are marked for clarity. All trills and mordents are by half step unless otherwise marked.
