This arrangement opens with open sections of quiet bumblebees (cup muted trumpets) with an number of trumpets playing orchestral excerpts. These are at the discretion of the players and can range from the opening of Pictures to excerpts involving 4+ trumpets. After a short Also Sprach Zarathustra opening, the expected Flight of the Bumblee arrives. This introduction can be omitted and the traditional piece can be played in its entirety.
