WINDS
General note: quartertones are deviations from the norm and can be, if hard to execute, smaller than a quartertone.
= slap tongue (Clarinets)
PERCUSSION
= scratch along the Wash Board with Drum Stick = pluck random strings on the Egg Slicer (one at a time)
HARP
Harp is tuned 1/4-tone down, the part is notated a 1/4-tone higher.
STRINGS
I II III IV
= Roman numerals above a note indicate the string on which to play
ord. = ordinario
!. = !autando
c.l. = col legno (play only with the wood of the bow)
c.l.cr. = col legno crini (play with both wood and hair of the bow)
c.l.b. = col legno battuto = Bartók pizz
= hum the same note as you are playing (if it’s in your voice’s register)
= tap given notes with the ngers of the left hand
indicates the velocity of the bowing:
0 = no velocity
0.5 = very very slow = approx. 60 sec. per bow (unstable tone)
1 = very slow = approx. 15 sec. per bow (stable tone)
2 = slow = approx. 3 sec. per bow
3 = medium velocity = approx. 1 bow per sec.
4 = fast = approx. 1.5 bows per sec.
5 = very fast = approx. 2 bows per sec.
6 = as fast as possible = approx. 2.5 bows per sec.
All numbers lower than 1 should result in an unstable, grainy sound. No matter what the indicated speed is, the entire length of the bow should always be used. The indication ”6” does not mean a normal tremolo!
CONDUCTOR
= big numbers above the or a string section indicate the velocity of the bow for all desks underneath the indicated one
ff = big dynamics underneath the string section indicate the dynamics for all the strings.
