Accidentals (including grace notes) only affect the pitch to which they directly refer, not other octaves, for the duration of the bar in which the accidental is written.
Woodwinds:
Quarter Three quarter Quarter Three quarter sharp sharp flat flat
SOLO Horns:
This work will be played with Harmon Mute (wah-wah mute) (wah-wah mute for ”bass trombone” also can be used on horn).
This: signiÞes the speed of a same note tremolo, a tremolo on mute (opened and closed repeatedly) and also lip trill. It needs to sound as smooth as possible, especially when changing the speed over 2 or 3 different techniques e.g. mute open and closed into same note tremolo etc.
If you wish to perform the shorter version of this work, play from the beginning to the end of bar 164.
