Performance Notes

While this selection may be performed as a quartet, best results are obtained by performance of at least five heterogeneous instruments. The percussion are optional but add an additionally rich sonority and texture. If performance is undertaken without percussion, simply omit the four-measure introduction and begin at letter "A."
