So transcribing the celeste part to fit into an ensemble like this was a big challenge due to its enormous range, but the movement is so famous that leaving it out was out of the question. In the end, I decided to replace the usual 3rd oboe part with 4 solo oboes to cover the 4-part harmony of the celeste. The key was lowered a step from the original to help the top solo voice be in a bit more comfortable range, and for once lowering things didn't make any of the other parts too awkward or out-of-range.
