Abbreviations, I have no clue what they mean. O_O

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?

Looks to me like Mib means Eb and Sib means Bb. I imagine ut means "others" or "ect."

(Do Re Mi Fa So La Si)

bt2 and bi2 I am not sure about.

Thanks. The Mib/Sib makes sense now. ^^'

Mib = E flat (mi b

I'm clueless as to the bt/bi as well, but perhaps they are indicating optional parts?

When I hear BT in regards to flute I think of the distance between the blow hole and the tone hole.

How To Calculate Flute Holes

Maybe its saying optional 2 part? (EDIT: Oops, missed that someone already said this. srry.) The competition is Belgium if that makes a difference. =P

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

It means don't enter this competition because these people are crazy, haha.

Hope that helps. :D

lol.

Thanks. :)

EDIT:

...Oboes can share the part. =/ I like having I oboe part. I guess I know I can split it though. :D
