WINDS
Copyright:RicordiBerlinonlyforperusal
kissing notes (Oboe and Bassoon)
harmonics (Piccolo)
vibr. with vibrato
PERCUSSION
dead stroke
play on the Furin, change regularly between the two different high notes
MOTORISED PIANO
silently pressed keys
(high motor is playing)
play motor 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (1 = lowest register, 5 = highest register, 2, 3, 4 = in between)
motor turns clockwise
motor turns anticlockwise
bpm the given bpm shows the approximate tempo of half a rotation as the paper attached to the motor strikes the strings twice during one rotation.
turn on the given motors slowly and increase to given bpm turn off the given motors slowly and decrease until motor stops
STRINGS
f. fautando c.l.cr. col legno crini ord. ordinario vibr. with vibrato
damp strings lightly with four fngers (near the frst harmonic) and play with very light bow (white noise)
hum along, very quietly, if in your register
transition from one technique to another
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.
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!
