Abbreviations, I have no clue what they mean. O_O


Recommended Posts

Ok, so this competition I'm going to try and enter has these abbrev. and I don't know what they mean. =/

->

FL1 bt2; Oboe 1 bi2; Cl. Mib; Cl. Sib 1,2&3; Alto Clar. Mib; Bass Clar Sib; Contra bass clar. Sib; Tub. Mib & ut.

Mainly, what is bt2, bi2, Mib, Sib and ut?

:(

EDIT:

Also, what Trumpet would you say they want, Bb or C, and Horn in F? "Cornet 1 & 2; Trpt. 1,2&3. Horn 1,2,3&4;"

Plus, they say "and all instruments in the percussion section including, if required, a piano, harp, or synthesizer."

What percussion instruments can I have then?

Having had a look at the dutch version of the text citing what instruments might be used, I found the following:

Picc.;Fl.1&2;Hobo 1&2;Engelse Hoorn;Cl.Mib;Cl.Sib 1,2 &3;Altclar.Mib;Basclar.sib;... (list continuing)

That means bt2 and bi2 are some kind of typos, and actually it means

Flutes 1&2, and Oboe 1&2

Hope that solves your problem

EDIT: In the french version of the text, it's correct as well (piccolo ; fl
