Performance notes Accidentals apply only to the note before which they are written. Exception: when a note is immediately repeated in the same register, the first alteration is valid for these immediate repetitions (for example, beginning of m. 38). Vibrato may be specified as follows: molto vibrato, poco vibrato, senza vibrato (or abbreviations such as m.vib., poco vibr., etc). Sometimes a bracket is used to clarify beginning and end of the vibrato: the vibrato then applies only to the notes under the bracket. An ascending or descending arrow after a vibrato mark indicates a gradual increase or decrease of the vibrato, within the duration indicated by the bracket (note that these arrows associated to a vibrato mark do not mean any kind of overall glissando). For example, the "molto vibrato" on the first note of m. 55 should quickly decrease to a less intense vibrato, the same action being repeated for the second note. An indication such as "slow and narrow vibrato" (m. 70) specifies both components of a vibrato: speed of vibration and amount of pitch change around the center pitch. A "wiggly line" may appear in conjunction with these vibrato marks simply as a visual aid. "Parenthetical interruptions" should be interpreted in the same way as in written and spoken language: "an amplifying or explanatory word, phrase, or sentence inserted in a passage; a remark or passage that departs from the theme of a discourse." The raw material of the piece is a pool of fragments of sometimes disparate stylistic origin. The tendency for a discontinuous flow is already embedded in the very nature of such material; as a counterbalance, the performer should strive to bring out aspects of continuity in the music (through latent associations, dormant correspondences etc), not only between neighboring fragments but also across larger sections of the piece. These are not quotations: recognizability of any given fragment is not sought nor expected. The work is not exactly a collage, either. The step of devalorization (negation of the value of prior organization of expression) is here followed by a step of revalorization of these fragments into newly organized and meaningful connections. It is perhaps a way of creatively examining the potential malleability (or resistance) of different musical materials when subjected to higher temperatures.
