Misc. Notes Original images: ca.220dpi, color jpg files approx. 2300 by 3000 pixels. Editing: re-sampled to 600dpi, converted to black and white tif files, de-skewed, and set uniform margins. Blank pages inserted to facilitate duplex printing. Due to the nature of the parts (an engraving based upon a copyist's manuscript) once it was converted to black and white determining editorial additions by the performers became difficult. Those I caught I removed. Any left would be attributed to NYPO conductor Josef Stránský (1872–1936) from the 1917 performance. PDF split of Cypressdome's "Complete Parts" file (#362604) by Sallen112. *According to the score Carolus uploaded (#17150), the score has a "Glockenspiel" being played rather than in the part above "Bells" being played, (Xylophone/Bells) part.
