Misc. Notes In the second movement, Tchaikovsky gave nearly all melodic material to Violin 1, Viola 1 and Cello 1. I redistributed the melodies trying to keep a natural flow of the individual parts. No melody is played by a different instrument, swaps are only between identical instruments. Therefore, it should sound the same. Apart from that, the parts are identical with the already existent scans.
