Violoncello

Cello follows piano; tremolo is colla parte but should not be exactly matched, and can become less so. Piano will continue the flourishes ad lib., until cello sound heralds ‘B’.

‘Y’ tuning-fork tremolo on C string: sul pont. (c.2”) sim.

(Opening flourish = c.54 bpm)

Piano: play these four flourishes, with clear breaks, then repeat ad lib. (25-35” total) from the four.

Reduced note heads indicate approximation as to pitch; retain flourish shapes in repeats, but pitch variety is welcome. Nb: alignment of hands is not exact within figures. Cello signals the move to ‘B’.

*After 25-35”, cello signs change to B by striking wolf-inhibitor screw with tuning-fork, thence signifying that piano moves to B chords.
