Alexander SHCHETYNSKY

CROSSWISE
for Alto Saxophone and Violoncello
(1994)

ALTO SAXOPHONE IN Es
VIOLONCELLO

Duration: ca. 12

EXPLANATIONS
SAXOPHONE
~~~~~~~~~~~

- fast or slow vibrato (according to the graphic model).

- smorzato produced by motion of the lips in free rhythm.

- mixture of normal tone and air noise (rustle tone)

s.p. - sul ponticello.

VIOLONCELLO

- bow directly on the edge of the resonant body to produce a weak noise
without definite tone.
flautando - minimal bow pressure.
senza arco - strike against the string with the finger of the left hand.

BOTH INSTRUMENTS

- gradual transition to the next method of playing.

- quasi cresc.
- quasi dimin.
- raising by a quarter tone.
i - lowering by a quarter tone.
Glissando should assume the whole value of the inicial tone.

PROGRAM NOTE
The piece consists of two contrast movements: Vivo and Lento. The first one,
built from rapid passages and sustained tones, is like an ouverture to the second
movement - very slow, soft and meditative. Sounding sometimes chimerical, the
second movement suggests the idea of acoustic beauty of every sound and its
echos surrounded with silence.
