NOTES ON PERFORMANCE

The durations of notes and pauses should be very carefully observed and by no means shorter than notated. Slightly elongated pauses/notes

are preferable over shortened. The lengths of drones on D may be adjusted according to the acoustics of the performance space and the

length of decay of the piano.

Pedal is left up to performer’s discretion, except the section from top of page 7 until the third system of page 8. There, the pedal markings

are notated precisely and should be accurately observed.

The pizzicato D pitches should be muted just enough to create the pizzicato articulation, yet with maximum possible sustain.

NOTATION KEY

Seven notes of approximately 32nd duration, gradually slowing down in the space of an 8th note

X amount of notes in the space of Y (of the same duration)

A single note of the notated tuplet duration/an incomplete tuplet

Pizzicato, with finger mute on the string inside the piano

String plucked with finger

Notes tied over from plucked pitches or pizzicati should not be rearticulated

In agile/virtuosic sections – trill up

In agile/virtuosic sections – trill down

In sections with drones - trill up to the nearest flat

In sections with drones – trill down to the nearest sharp

Cut off the chord with interrupted tie right before the following duration

Speed up to maximum velocity/slow down. Any amount of repetitions is allowed. Up to performer’s discretion.

Slow down slightly

From top of page 7 to third system of page 8 – pedal down/pedal up
