KOTO’s initial tuning:
STRINGS:
Make a difference between Gliss. and Port. Gliss. = shift the pitch immediately (and travel during the full length of the note duration). Port. = shift the pitch just before you go to next note. Do NOT vibrato on gliss. or port.
for Sheng, Daegeum, Koto, Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass (2021)
Long note/tremolo: change bows as many times as you need. U
in Daegeum part in general: Add vibrato, wide vibrato, bend-pitch, as you wish
These boxes can be played in any order. However you may not repeat each individual segment more than twice until all the cycles have been played.
q = 92 - 110 (for sheng only, for these patterns) Take longer "fermatas" on rests.
