• This arrangement essentially follows Prokofiev's original.

 It divides the music into eight self-contained sections that are easy and manageable to learn. The string section is for four to five parts, with the double bass part—where it is played independently—also written for cello. The violins play only up to the third position. The violas can be supported or replaced by third violins.
The following wind instruments are included: C I = flute, C II = oboe, B I = clarinet, B II = trumpet, F = horn, C III = bassoon. The flute (the "little bird") is essential. The other wind instruments can be played alternatively and ad libitum (the F part is also included in the score in E-flat transposition). All wind parts are within a range suitable for students and amateur musicians. In particular, the solo flute part has been simplified as much as possible.

The piano largely serves an obbligato function. Where it supports wind solos, it may be partially paused, depending on the orchestral size. The percussion is entirely ad libitum.
The complete text can be found in the appendix. The score itself contains all the necessary keywords, which are numbered to facilitate communication between the conductor and the narrator.

• Difficulty level: easy to medium.
• Duration of the music (pure playing time): approx. 27 min.
