Harpsichord / Score Performance note Tiet / Lots (00) for flute or recorder violin viol or cello and harpsichord notation: for the recorder: if necessary to take a breath do it here. For all: stop exactly at the same time.. normal staccato. For the clarity of writing used often as short-hand to indicate a shortish 6th-note. ' short sharp staccato (regardless of the written length of the note) col legno battuto; with x -noteheads: let the bow also hit the fingerboard. clt col legno tratto (or norm.) normal playing (after col legno sul pont. ¼-tone up/down etc.) + left hand piicato snap-piicato o open string. At the end of a diminuendo: al niente. ~ slow small glissandi (ca. a quarter-tone) up- and downwards glissando as even as possible. / A small note-head at the end of the glissando-sign only shows the approximate ending pitch it is not articulated. n.v. non vibrato. In general vibrato should be avoided and reserved only to emphasie the most passionated moments of the piece. l.v. let vibrate A quarter-tone higher/lower than the written note. All accidentals are valid till the end of the bar. x general: The piece would benefit from vivid tone painting. Jukka Tiensuu flute: The piece is playable on modern or baroque instruments. If modern flute is used one with open holes is required to allow smooth glissandi and quarter-tones. Alternatives for baroque flutes (missing the lowest C and C#) are indicated in Primrose path which is also playable on tenor recorder in D (transposed part available on request). viola da gamba: For slow glissandi and quarter-tones either use less pressure of the left hand on string to avoid contact with the frets or play on a lower string on a higher position above the frets. harpsichord: A full-sie double-manual harpsichord is preferred. However the piece is playable on a single-manual instrument with the minimum range of A -d"' (B b tuned to G # ). The + registration must then be ignored and "" would mean +4'. In any case a solo 4' stop is required and a harp stop (L) recommended. As for tuning the preference is given to an unequal (late baroque) temperament where A and D are tuned to match the tuning of the corresponding strings of the string instuments and where the major thirds A-C# and D-F# are pure.
