Four piano strings are to be prepared with a piece of ordinary writing paper. Insert the paper between the strings, make sure that no other strings are affected (the paper can stay on the strings throughout the piece).
The resulting sound should be muted and crispy.

Flutter tongue
All trills should span a minor second up, unless otherwise indicated by a note in parenthesis. When a trill to the same note is indicated, use an alternate fingering.
Winds/Brass: Air sound - no pitch. Air sounds on oboes and bassoons can be produced by blowing a few centimeters from the reed. If sufficient time, remove reed completely.
Flutes: "Pitch-coloured" air sound. Finger notated pitches.
Trombones/Trumpets: Closed harmon mute Horns: Stopped horn
Trombones/Trumpets: Open harmon mute Horns: Not stopped
Trumpets: A quick tremolo effect with the hand rapidly covering and opening the exit of a harmon mute.
Cellos/Contrabasses: Vertical bowing. Dampen all strings, move the bow up and down along the two deepest strings to produce a soft, breathing-like sound.

Edition Peters
For more than 200 years, Edition Peters has been synonymous with excellence in classical music publishing. Established in 1800 with the keyboard works of J. S. Bach, by 1802 the company had acquired Beethoven’s First Symphony. In the years following, an active publishing policy enabled the company to expand its catalogue with new works by composers such as Brahms, Grieg and Liszt, followed in the twentieth century by Richard Strauss, Arnold Schoenberg and John Cage.
Today, with its offices in Leipzig, London and New York publishing the work of living composers from around the world, Edition Peters maintains its role as a champion of new music. At the same time, the company’s historic and educational catalogues continue to be developed with award-winning critical and pedagogical editions.
Seit über 200 Jahren steht die Edition Peters für höchste Qualität im Bereich klassischer Notenausgaben. Gegründet im Jahr 1800, begann der Verlag seine Tätigkeit mit der Herausgabe von Bachs Musik für Tasteninstrumente. Schon 1802 kamen die Rechte an Beethovens erster Sinfonie hinzu. In der Folgezeit wuchs der Katalog um neue Werke von Komponisten wie Brahms, Grieg und Liszt sowie – im 20. Jahrhundert – Richard Strauss, Arnold Schönberg und John Cage. Als Verleger zahlreicher zeitgenössischer Komponisten aus aller Welt ist die Edition Peters mit ihren Standorten Leipzig, London und New York auch weiterhin Anwalt neuer Musik. Zugleich wird das Verlagsprogramm im klassischen wie im pädagogischen Bereich kontinuierlich durch vielfach preisgekrönte Ausgaben erweitert.
