5 A special optional solo cornet part for the 2nd mvt (where trumpets and cornets are otherwise tacet) may have been written for a performance by the legendary Jean Baptiste Arban. This part is included in the Kalmus set; it is also available in Appendix III of the Bärenreiter collected edition of Berlioz in a format that can be photocopied and used in performance (v.16, p.197). The Norton score integrates the part into the score of the 2nd mvt.

In some concert performances, the work as a whole has been preceded by slightly longer "supplementary excerpts" from these same works, and even a preliminary performance of the Marche funèbre itself. The composer endorses this practice, though it is by no means necessary. The "supplementary excerpts": 1. Beethoven: Marcia funebre from Sym. No.3, bars Mahler: Sym. No.5, bars Schubert: Sym. No.8, bars Tchaikovsky: Sym. No.6, 4th mvt, bars Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique, 5th mvt, bars More info: Represented by AMP: Associated Music Publishers US agent: G.
