Instrumentation Works for Orchestra
Stockhausen Complete Edition on CD
Since 1991, a complete edition of all recordings in which Karlheinz Stockhausen has personally participated is being released on compact discs. Each CD in this series is identified by Stockhausen's signature followed by an encircled number. The numbers indicate the general historical order of the works.
Stockhausen realised the electronic music and participated in these recordings as conductor, performer, sound projectionist, and musical director. He personally mixed down the recordings, mastered them for CDs, wrote the texts and drew the covers.
- The compact discs may be obtained from the Stockhausen-Verlag: Kettenberg 15, 51515 Kuerten, Germany (www.stockhausenCDs.com).

| 4 oboes |
| 4 clarinets |
| 3 bassoons |
| 1 contrabassoon |
4 horns (all are F /  double horns) |
| 3 trumpets (each has straight mute, cup mute, wawa mute) |
4 trombones (or 3 trombones and l additional horn)
(1st trombone with F valve attachment) |
| 1 tuba |
| 2 glockenspiels (with pedal) light beaters (wood or wood with leather, hard beaters starting from bar 107 )
and 1 set of hanging glass chimes,
5 different triangles hung next to each other, connected by thin threads: |
 |
| 1 set of sound plates (or plate bells) chromatic:
 If no plate bells are available, one must assemble a chromatic scale with gongs
and tam-tams. |
| 1 piano |
| 1 celesta |
| 1st violins | one music stand for each player |
| 2nd violins | |
| violas | |
| cellos |
| double basses |
As one can see from the score, the usual amplification of the 1st violins is not necessary.
The 1st violins, 2nd violins, violas and cellos should be heard as equally loud whenever the same dynamic level is indicated.
String instrumentations such as:
8-8-8-6-6 or 10-10-8-6-6
are possible.
During the sections with repetition brackets, the strings may be reduced and the dynamic level proportionally raised, if the sound texture is not sufficiently transparent.
One may also perform this piece with 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons,
1 contrabassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, and tuba. When this is the case, only the lst and
2nd parts are played.
Duration: approx. 15 minutes.

| Bar 78, Horn I: | notation error: a beam is missing in the last 4 notes of the bar. |
