Every two measure phrase is to be repeated at each performer's own leisure. The duration of each note can be random or consistent but should consistently move slowly to be idiomatic with the material from earlier in the piece. The cellist acts as the conductor giving cues every two repeats to signifiy each change in event, at which time a new voice will enter or the pitch material will change for one or all parts. Each new event, however, does not and should not begin at the exact same time. For example, if the cellist gives a cue but the 1st violin is not finished with his or her phrase at the time the cue is given, the 1st violin should finish that phrase, without speeding up, and then move onto the next action, creating a "bleed over" effect.
