Performance Notes

Accidentals follow the tonal convention and carry through the bar, in octave.

Many of the rhythms in the fixed media notation are meant to guide and are VERY approximate. The pitches in the fixed media part at m103 and m131 are microtones, though not notated as such. Play the violin part as notated and do not attempt to tune to these pitches.

Natural harmonics are all notated at sounding pitch.
