Notes:
• Premuto indicates a complete scratch tone, i.e. no pitch should be heard.• Similarly, whilst sui pont. indicates that the tone should contain many harmonics, molto sui pont. indicates
that the tone should contain only harmonics and no fundamental.• Pizzicato harmonics should be played by releasing the finger of the left hand almost immediately upon
plucking the string with the right hand: this allows the note to ring. This is not necessary for DoubleBasses as their harmonics are naturally resonant.
• Artificial harmonics are notated according to manner of execution, i.e. a normal note-head showing thestopped note and a diamond note-head showing where to place the harmonic.
• Natural harmonics are shown at actual pitch.• Dynamics are extremely important and are specific to each part.• Passages marked ppp should be only just audible, and pppp at the threshold of hearing.• Slurs with lines indicate that the bow should not stop between notes, but instead a long note with pulsations
should result.• Slurs with dots as well as lines indicate that the notes should be separate, but tenuto.• Slurs with dots indicate that notes should be short and light but still on the string.• The triplet figure which appears in the celli in bar 80 should be played ricochet.• Crescendi and diminuendi from/to nothing (indicated by the small circle) should be achieved with careful
control of bow pressure and speed.
