Revisions by the Original Composer  (cf. LCRI 25.25A, Footnote 9)

If a composer revises a work, retaining the original title and opus number, and the revision is one of different instrumentation within the same broad medium (e.g., orchestra, instrumental ensemble, band) rather than extensive overall revision and the introduction of new material, do not consider the revised version an arrangement, etc.  Use the same uniform title for the original and revised versions.

Added Accompaniments, Etc.

Do not add arr. to the uniform title for a musical work to which an additional accompaniment or additional parts have been added with no alteration of the original music (21.21).  Assign subject headings for both the expanded and the original media of performance, adding ", Arranged" to the former heading.  Classify the item as an arrangement.
