PERFORMANCE NOTE: - When the 2nd valve slide is removed, many of the fingerings in this movement will result in microtones. - For each microtone, the closest sounding tempered pitch is notated (diamond notehead) - All glissandi in the movement are achieved by extending the 3rd valve slide (unless otherwise noted) - The trumpeet should play into a microphone with a reverb delay of at least 3 seconds. Microphone levels may be turned down when the harmon mute is removed. ©2008 - All rights reserved.
