Performance Notes
General: The set-up on
stage is important, with
two Violin groups on each
side on the platform:
Vilin 1 lefts and Violin
2 right, as seen from the
audience 1st Movement :
In bar 1 &, 7 the
entire string group
should adjust their
intonation to the Double
Basses and their natural
harmonics. In the rest of
the movement
normalintonation should
be used. The slow and
rhythmical vibrato pulse
should follow the accents
2nd Movement : The 10/5
meter is divided into two
beats, and the dotted
lines show the position
of the second beat in
each bar 3rd Movement :
no comment 4th Movement :
The very high harmonics
are intended as mostly a
high 'airy' sound. The
small gliss/portamenti
that will invariably
occur in the fast shofts
of positions are
intended.
