Dear Adrian
E minor symphony
p.47 after 15 2nd violins sul D (they cannot play 1st bar after D  sul D!)
last bar of page (4 bars after 15) same applies
last bar of p.48 3 bars before 16 same applies
But I realize now where they cease to play sul D i.e. 4th bar after 16 2nd beat ought to have been marked
p.53 (fig 18) Timp. I like your idea for chromatic Timps[.] But I believe there wd after all be time for the ordinary timps to tune F [natural] (either or  )for that note
