Programme Note

PERFORMANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Each figure should be repeated an indefinite number of times. The leader of the ensemble should, at his or her discretion, nod once, indicating that the ensemble should repeat the figure twice more before proceeding.

Based upon the composer’s own practice in performance, there is a suggested duration for the work of anywhere between 17 and 25 minutes.

The piece should be played at a constant dynamic: forte.
