The contrabass player 1. should play on the down beat but the rest of the musicians (boxed notes) should start very slightly after the beat in order to get an independent, "scattered" pizzicato effect. **) The instrumental parts in measures 3 — 9 are cued and notated in a way that the music can be unconducted. This approach is suggested if violins and violas are off stage for this movement. Beginning of each measure should be cued by the player(s) (or section leader) with the marking "LEAD." Dashed lines with arrows indicate which player is cueing or rather "triggering" another player. If necessary, beginning of each measure may be cued by the conductor.
