Tuning Exercise Nr. 0, for flute and piano (2014)

Navid Bargrizan

Duo for Flute & Piano

2

Instruction for musicians In this piece, 1/4 tones, 1/6 tones, and a few 3/4 tones are used in the flute part to expand the world of whole- and half tones. A combination of accidentals with arrows and cent numbers indicates these microtones as follows: -50 and +50 above accidentals with arrows indicate 1/4 tone higher or lower.

-33 and +33 above accidentals with arrows indicate 1/6 tone higher or lower.

-66 and +66 above accidentals with arrows indicate two 1/6 tone (2/6) higher or lower. In other words, it means 1/6 tone + 1/6 tone.

-150 and +150 above accidentals with arrows indicate 3/4 tone higher or lower.

In other words, it means 1/2 tone + 1/4 tones.

The exact intonation of these microtones is not important. Clear distinction and getting close to intoning these small steps is essential to this piece, though.

In the appendix, fingerings for realizing the microtones are suggested. The player should however, feel free to use any fingering or technique to play the microtones.

The fingering charts are mere suggestions.
