Mihailo Trandafilovski - STRIKE-FLOW

Strike - Flow (in three phases) (2006) for chamber ensemble

Mihailo Trandafilovski

Strike - Flow (in three phases) (2006) Commissioned by Lontano for their 30th Anniversary concert series Instrumentation: Flute, Clarinet in Bb (Bass Clarinet with an extension), Piano, Violin, Cello

Score in C Duration: ca. 10 m.

Notes: For all instruments: - the size of a written accent (>) should indicate the intensity of the accent played.

Other articulation markings should be treated similarly throughout the composition.

- where a dynamic marking is preceded by poco, it should be understood as

follows: poco f is softer than f but louder than mf; poco p softer than p but louder than pp, etc.

- Acciaccaturas should always be played before the beat.

- Slides should begin approximately at the point where lines begin.

Additional performance notes are included in the score/parts.

For piano: - Lid should be fully open.

- Bits of tape/stickers with pitch labels should be placed on the dampers of the following strings:

This would help to locate strings quickly when plucked.

- A stand with an additional copy of the music should be placed close to the piano in such a way that music can be read easily when strings are plucked (m. 71 – 85; m. 206 – 219).
