  • "Nine" is indeed "about eight," but I don't understand the reason for this lack of precision. Commented Sep 18, 2024 at 7:14

    The score specifies nine players for the chamber orchestra, but the question says "a chamber orchestra of about eight people." It's a bit puzzling. Commented Sep 18, 2024 at 8:57

    @phoog: Presumably the OP has seen a video of the performance - in which it may not that easy to tell precisely how many people are playing in a given group - but not the score? Commented Sep 18, 2024 at 10:13
  • @psmears that seems right. I looked at the linked video a bit more closely, and the camera angle showing the entire chamber ensemble is such that both cellists are aligned with the bassist; it often looks as though there is only one cellist. Thanks for clearing that up. Commented Sep 18, 2024 at 10:32
