Subsequent revisions have been small, mainly consisting of a brand new Benedictus (to replace one which, in the original performance, had beeen borrowed from a liturgical setting of the Mass), the expansion of the Dies Irae and the creation of a bigger orchestration, as an alternative to the chamber scoring, to make the most of the forces available at the second performance, in St. Petersburg.
