NOTATION Trills always up a semitone, unless otherwise specified. >

change very gradually from one sound or one way of playing (etc.) to another.

When vibrato markings are not specified, players can use their usual vibrato. ‘Molto vibrato’ always means a rapid and quite narrow vibrato, unless otherwise specified.

Tremolo should always be as dense as possible. l.v.

always allow to sound as long as possible

All glissandi should be started at the beginning of the note value.

Strings S.P. S.T. N.

always estremamente sul ponticello sul tasto normal (used with S.P and S.T., otherwise ord.)

( )

a trill produced by alternating the finger pressure between normal ( ) and light (harmonic, ). The result should be alternating normal and harmonic sounds.

Harp

The harp should always be allowed to sound for as long as possible.

Voice x

half spoken

Glissandi should always be sung very evenly.
