Percussion 1 & 2 sit temporarily on a seesaw
Percussion 4 & 5 swing on 2 swings above the orchestra. The Instruments need to be fastened securly to the swings (all notes are to be seen as a approximation)
scratch along the Wash Board with a Drum stick (rattling sound)
press one side of the triangle onto the skin of the Timpani/Bass Drum while hitting the side of the Triangle with a drumstick (hammer-like sound with resonance occurs)
press one side of the triangle onto the skin of the Timpani/Bass Drum while hitting along the side of the Triangle — a transition in sound occurs to the technique described above
= drumstick
= soft Timpani stick
= hard Timpani stick
= circulate harmonic tube
reach out Triangle towards Percussion 5 to be hit by player 5
hit Triangle of Percussion 4
Harp 1 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
s.p. = Sul pont (play near the bridge)
c.l.cr. = col legno + crini (play with both wood and hair of the bow)
c.l.b. = col legno battuto
f. = fautando
= Bartók pizz
= try to create line between 2 instruments
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, dusty 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!
the dynamics indicate in this case the bow pressure:
ppp = very very light bow pressure
pp = very light bow pressure
p = light bow pressure
mf = medium bow pressure
f = high bow pressure
ff = very high bow pressure
damp indicated strings with the left hand, and “swish” vertically with the bow.
tap with the left hand given notes
hum given note very softly, almost inaudible while playing the same note
