Some conductors may prefer this reversal of Stephen Ivin's popular composition. Like the usual arrangement it contains all 144 combination rollups, but unlike it this reversal starts with the whole plain course, and contains back rounds. It also contains 82s, which the usual arrangement avoids, and does not contain tittums.
Reduce to 5,024 by omitting M,B,W from one part (143 cru).
