I'm pretty new to studying printed scores, so this is definitely a newbie-question.
I'm studying the score for Bruckner's 8th Symphony, but I'm somewhat confused about the transposing done to the brass instruments. Most of the staves show C-Minor, and some of the ones, like the B clarinets, have been transposed as one would expect them to be. However, the Horns in Bb and F, the Trumpets in C, and the Timpani don't have any sharps or flats on their staves, which is definetly not what happens when you do the logical transposing.
I scanned the first first page of the piece, so if you look at the actual music might help clarify what it is I'm trying to explain.
