Speedrun for bass flute OBJECTIVE: Reach the end of the piece in under 60 seconds. RULES: Set a 60 second countdown going. This could be an alarm on your phone or an egg timer, so long as it makes a loud noise (ringing, beeping, buzzing etc.) upon completion. Choose one of the six starting points at the left hand side of the two-page spread and play, following the arrows. You will often have to choose which direction you take. Once you begin playing you may not take another breath, nor make any mistakes. If you must breathe or if you make a mistake, that run has failed; return to any of the six starting points and begin again. You may choose your own tempo, however once chosen you must stick to it until you either a) reach the double bar at the end or b) fail and restart. Deviating from your chosen tempo by more than what could reasonably be considered rubato is considered a mistake. If you reach the double barline at the right hand side of the two page spread before the countdown ends, congratulations! You have won. Proceed to the final bar marked END at the bottom of the page. You may breathe before playing this. When you have finished playing, you may choose to either cancel the countdown early or let it run down to 0. If the countdown ends before you have reached the end of the piece, you have lost. All dynamics are entirely up to you. Accidentals apply only to one "bar". Some pathways will be more challenging than others. If you restart you can either repeat the same pathway and try to improve it, or choose another that may be more successful. Duration: 1 ' or less
Speedrun is inspired by the concept of video game speedrunning; players will learn incredibly complex and challenging manoeuvres to finish a game in a marginally faster time. Even the slightest mistake could spell the end of an otherwise perfect run, which in some games can mean several hours wasted.
