Catalogue Note
Rare. We have no record of the orchestral parts of the Ninth Symphony being offered for sale at auction. Complete sets are almost never found today, having been dispersed during performances and rehearsals. Neither Kinsky nor Hoboken call for the titles to Violino Secondo and Flauto Primo parts.
