strident, loud tone
sentimental fluctuation on a wide dynamic range
(p-f-p)
free, varied improvisation around and/or starting from the notated pitch
(mp-mf)

turn the instrument in the marked direction at the given points in time (✦ = normal middle position towards audience)
Details of execution as well as any decisions about parameters not specified are free and up to the performer. Note (material) durations are marked with attached horizontal lines. Note groups with the same color belong together and should be played accordingly. There should be no gap between different colors/materials (unless there is space in between in the score), the changes of character should be abrupt. The second-based timing should be followed strictly (e.g. using a clock signal).
