Orchestration
The orchestra is scored for two flutes, piccolo, two oboes, cor anglais, two clarinets, two bassoons (second bassoon doubling contrabassoon), four horns, four trumpets, three trombones and tuba accompanied by timpani, cymbals and three violoncellos or double basses. Although combining winds and piano was unusual at the time, the form had been explored earlier in the twentieth century and would be explored later.
