Soloists

Solo Trumpet in C

For the high parts, a Piccolo Trumpet can be used. Use mutes to achieve the dynamics.

Solo Percussion = soft Timpani stick = medium Timpani stick = hard Timpani stick

= drum stick = play random strings on an Egg Slicer situated on a Timpani

Solo Harp

= press one side of the triangle onto the skin of the Timpani while hitting the side of the Triangle with a drumstick (Hammer-like sound with resonance occurs)

Tuned 1 quarter-tone down, part is transposed

Solo Viola

ord. = ordinario

c.l.cr. = col legno e crini

vib. = vibrato

= 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!

Woodwind = slap tongue

Brass = blow air through the instrument = articulate given consonants through the instrument

Timpani

= soft Timpani mallet

= medium Timpani mallet

= hard Timpani mallet

= drum stick

= press one side of the triangle onto the skin of the Timpani while hitting the side of the Triangle with a drumstick (Hammer-like sound with resonance occurs)

ord. = go back to normal Timpani playing

Percussion

= steel brush

= drum stick

= hard bass drum stick

= soft bass drum stick

= press one side of the triangle onto the skin of the Drum while hitting the side of the Triangle with a drumstick (Hammer-like sound with resonance occurs)

Strings

ord. = ordinario

s.p. = sul ponte (play near the bridge)

c.l.cr. = col legno e crini (play with hair and wood of the bow)

c.l. = col legno (play with wood of the bow only)

c.l.b. = col legno battuto

pizz. = pizzicato

= Bartók-pizz

= pull the string with the left hand and touch it with the wood of the bow very lightly immediately thereafter so that a loud rattling sound is produced

noise

= hum and play simultaneously. The square note indicates the note to be hummed.

= sing square note with given text (La la la la...)
