Despite publication of revised editions of orchestral repertoire, many scores and parts still contain significant errors. Norman del Mar's Orchestral Variations (Eulenburg, London, 1981), studies 45 works: newer editions have made some chapters obsolete (e.g. Jonathan del Mar's edition of Beethoven symphonies); most remain valid. 29 works, e.g. Debussy, Prélude à L'Après-midi d'un faune) are treated thoroughly in the US Conductors Guild Journal and on-line here.

The list below has errors found during preparation and rehearsals for concerts. Inquries and contributions are most welcome via the Contact form.  Please give details of edition and your contact details. A credit and link will be given here for verified contributions.

Balakirev, Overture on Three Russian Themes

G-1: Violin 2: quaver rest in part before barline should be crotchet (score is correct).
M+11: Oboe 1: ff in part is incorrect. The phrase remains pp (score is correct).

Barber, Death of Cleopatra ('Give me my robe'), Two Scenes from Antony and Cleopatra
Figure 8 (4/8): crotchet = 80 should read quaver = 80 in f.s., v.s. and parts.
Figure 10, 5th bar: first violins, final note (F#) should be 8va, like rest of bar.
Figure 13, 8th bar: ten(uto) marked on 2nd/3rd crotchet in f.s.; not in v.s.

Boïeldieu, Overture: Le Calife de Bagdad

Absent from both Kalmus full score A1330 and Eulenberg miniature EE3791/Nr.1105 bars 169, 171, 173, 175: bassoon and lower strings: Kalmus / Eulenberg scores have dotted crochet - quaver - crotchet x 2 rhythm; parts: dotted crotchet - quaver x 2

Borodin, Polovtsian Dances
17 after [E]: Timpani has one bar's rest on the first bar of phrase. Double bass and bassoon 2 have A crotchet at start of this bar, continuing for the rest of the phrase. This is the only bar in which this happens, and appears to be an anomaly in the timpani part and full score.
2 before[X]: Timpani and score change rhythm to place the four quavers on the beat, instead of being syncopated as in the rest of the phrase. There is no musical reason for this to happen, nor other examples in the work, suggesting it is an error.

Trombones 1-3 missing from instrumentation list of HPS 83, but required in score and listed on first page of music.

Bruch, Violin Concerto No.1

Part 1, bar 68: 'Vous' - crochet rest [G]; minim rest [F]

Debussy, Marche écossaise
5-6 after [10]: Vln 1: Slur from first quaver of [10]+5 to first quaver of [10]+6 not in parts. In Editions Jobert score E.1410 F.7 after [12]: Parts: Vln 1 Gn  should be G#. Correct in score.
