Legenda 
Partitura v C (le piccolo je transponiran).
B μ četrt tona dol / gor. 
Predznaki veljajo za ves takt razen pri četrt tonih (velja za vsako noto posebej). Dodanih je nekaj opozorilnih predznakov. 
- - - - postopna sprememba načina igre. 
tr~ ~ ~ poltonski triler.                
~ ~ ~ ~ barvni triler (1/4 tona ali manj).

 ¬  zrak / dušena struna / meh - vedno zvok kot dih brez višine. 
pihala 
air tone zelo sapast ton z določeno višino. 
T + æ         zelo hiter tremolo med obema višinama. 
M multifonik, ki vsebuje označeno višino. 
harm gliss F (rog ) zveneč alikvotni niz. 
gliss. z ustnicami (= portamento; neprekinjena počasna sprememba višine - razen kjer je posebej označeno "fingered (= s prsti)" ). 

harmonika 
gliss.: zelo počasno spuščanje tipke. 
T + æ         zelo hiter tremolo med obema višinama. 

klavir 
#
začetek: tremolo med vedno istima dvema strunama (f-g) z glasbenimi vilicami, roko premikamo gor / dol po struni; spreminjanje mesta dotika vilice s struno povzroči glissando. 
· zadušiti označeno struno z desno roko, igrati na klaviaturi z levo roko. 
¿ pizz. - trzniti struno s prstom. 
zaključek: kot na začetku - z glasbeno vilico ista dejavnost; tokrat zraven še postaviti litrski kozarec za vlaganje na igrane strune in ga premikati (z rahlim pritiskom) gor in dol vzdolž strun, 
prav tako glasbene vilice (izogibati se vzporednemu gibanju). 

godala 
pont. = sul ponticello; tasto = sul tasto; 
c.l.b.= col legno battuto; ric. = ricochet. 
pressure (scratch) zelo močan pritisk loka, rezultat je škripajoč zvok brez določene višine. 
Glissandi naj bodo vedno majhni in počasni, razen pri pizz. ali ric., kjer naj bodo hitri in veliki.

* ric. (t.58)  IV. struna c.l.b - nič žime, samo les; neprestano majhni gliss.; igrati z zgornjim delom loka, neprekinjeno odskakovanjez akcenti v označenem ritmu (lahko 
je improviziran na enak način). Hitrost odskokov naj bo približno enaka tolkalom. 
vla začetek: rahli dotiki IV. strune na poljubnih mestih (ambitus cμ -e). Rezultat so zvoki kot dihanje na različnih višinah (struno zadušimo) in ne zveneči flaggeoleti. 

Performance notes 
Score in C (only piccolo is transposed).
B μ quarter-tones down / up. 
Accidentals are valid for the whole measure except in the case of quarter-tone (valid only for the note). Some cautionary accidentals are added. 
- - - - gradual change of playing mode. 
tr~ ~ ~ half-tone trill.                
~ ~ ~ ~ timbral trill (1/4 tone or less).

 ¬  air / muted string / bellows - always breath-like sound with no pitch. 
woodwinds 
air tone tone of very breathy quality with definite pitch. 
T + æ very fast tremolo between the two pitches. 
M multiphonic including indicated pitch. 
harm gliss F (horn ) sounding harmonic series. 
gliss. with lips (= portamento; continuous slow pitch bend - except where "fingered" is specified). 

accordeon 
gliss.: releasing the key very slowly. 
T + æ very fast tremolo between the two pitches. 

piano 
#
beginning: oscillate (tremolo) with a tuning fork between the same two strings (f-g) while moving the hand up / down along the string; changing the place of touch produces a glissando. 
· mute the indicated string with the right hand, play on the keyboard with the left hand. 
¿ pizz. - pluck the string with a finger. 
ending: as in the begining - do the same action with the tuning fork; this time place a one liter jar on the strings played and move it (with light pressure) up and down along the strings 
as well as the tuning fork - avoid paralel motion. 

strings 
pont. = sul ponticello; tasto = sul tasto; 
c.l.b.= col legno battuto; ric. = ricochet. 
pressure (scratch) very strong pressure of the bow, the result is scratchy sound without exact pitch. 
The glissandi should always be small and slow except by pizz. or ric. where they should be fast and wide.

* ric. (m.58)  IVth string c.l.b - no hair, only wood; permanent small gliss.; play with the upper part of the bow, continuous bouncing with accents in the given rhythm (can be 
imprvised in the proposed manner). The bouncing speed should be similar to the percussion. 
vla beginning: light random touches of the IVth string (within cμ -e). The result should be breath-like sounds of different pitch (the string is muted) not the sounding harmonics.
