SOLO MOTORISED PIANO

The motorised installation which lies on top of the piano consists of a long metal stick. Attached to the metal stick are four motors with paper strips attached to it. These paper strips pluck the strings inside the piano (psalterium-like). For more information and rent contact the composer: mail(a)lisastreich.se

= silently depressed chord / silently held chord in 3rd pedal

= half pressure = press the key down until you reach a small resistance beforehand (without letting the hammer audible hit the string). Press the key from this point when it's supposed to sound - very soft sound.

= shows which motor to activate. 1. strikes the lowest strings, 2. the mid low strings, 3. the mid high strings, 4. the high strings.

= the first voice shows that the paper attached to the motor flaps twice during one turn of the motor (2nd voice)

= slow motor in an unspecific tempo

= increasing tempo in the motor (from nothing / from no velocity)

= decreasing tempo in the motor (to nothing / to no velocity)

! = prepare next chord beforehand

WOOD WINDS

= whistle tones

= kissing notes

= Multiphonic BRASS

= blow air through the instruments and change the overtones by changing random keys in given rhythm

= blow air through the instrument while executing a Flatterzunge on the first 1/8th note PERCUSSION

= hit flat with the drum stick on the rim of the timpani - hammering sound (the technique applies for the whole bar unless cancelled by another indication)

= press one side of the triangle onto the skin of the Timpani / Gran Cassa while hitting the side of the Triangle with a drumstick (Hammer-like sound with resonance occurs) (if not desolved, the technique stays for the whole bar)

= press one side of the Triangle onto the Timpani and hit the side of the Triangle with a drumstick, striking pregressively closer to the Timpani head with each attack.

= play the whip

= gliss along the wash board with the drum stick - loud rattling sound occurs

= drum stick

= soft bass drum stick

= soft Timpani stick

HARP

= hit deepest strings with a long round glass

PIANO

= half pressure = press the key down until you reach a small resistance beforehand (without letting the hammer audible hit the string). Press the key from this point when it's supposed to sound - very soft sound. = make a strong gliss on the lowest copper strings. Glove recommended.

STRINGS

I II = roman numerals above a note indicate the string on which to play III IV

c.l. = play col legno

c.l.cr. = play col legno crini

c.l.b. = play col legno battuto

ord. = play ordinario with the bow hair

= 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! 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 pressuref = high bow pressure

ff = very high bow pressure

= let the bow rest on the strings and perform an arpeggio with almost now bow speed. A soft metallic sound occurs. This gesture is primarily choreographic and should be performed with an exaggerated arm movement.

= only women hum the same note as they're playing = only men hum the same note as they're playing = men and women hum the same note as they're playing

TECHNICAL RIDER

- electrical output near the solo pianist

- a slight local amplification should be prepared for the concert
