Very interesting that 2 timpanists were used at the very end. The composer wrote only for 1 timpanist. Maybe the conductor had a say in the matter?

From what I could tell, some instruments were doubled, the winds in particular.

@@littlewishy6432 Looks pretty close to a double orchestra to me. I played this in 'my' orchestra last weekend, May 18-19, 2024 in Concord, MA. I played the third line in movement 3. Awesome. I practiced it soooo much to make it really smooth. We had one timpanist and one drum, 1 harp. Small hall about 400 max. Wonderful evening.
