Bruno Ruviaro Ventania (2004) or lute, clarinet in Bb, violin, violoncello, iano and ercussion
NOTATION Resectively: /4-tone lat, 1/2-tone lat, 1/4-tone lat, natural, 1/4-shar, 1/2-tone shar, /4-tone shar. Accidentals are valid only or the note beore which they aear. Excetion: in assages with immediate reetitions o one same note, the irst accidental alies to all consecutive reetitions o that note. [Measures 57-60 are an extended case o this excetion, alying the accident to a reeated igure]. Fermatas: long, regular, short, resectively. Dynamics: n = niente Play one o the highest notes ossible (layer s choice). Trills (tr) and tremolos (trm) are always made to the note indicated in arentheses. Traditional tremolo notation is ocasionally used in simler assages. Marimba and vibrahone: dead stroke. Percussion mallets: - sot - medium - hard (lus one bow or the vibrahone) Flute and clarinet: Flutter tongue (latterzunge) Glissandi u or down. When it occurs at the end o a hrase (irst examle above), it should be a very short glissando, starting only at the last moments o the indicated note (in other words, it should NOT start right ater the attack). Piano rearation (middle C = C4): Strings: izzicato behind the bridge ( x ) and izzicato Bartók * Highest three notes must be taed inside. Use a Duck tae to damen the strings on notes Bb7, B7 and C8. A very short ercussive sound is obtained. A7 and below should remain untouched. * A screw should be inserted between two o the Bb4 strings at aroximately hal the length. A tone close to a G natural, a tenth below Bb4 is exected. I this is hard to achieve in a seciic iano, the layer should look or a similar resonant low sounding eect.
