Divergence de la srie
harmonique
for Guitar Solo
 Commissioned by the international guitar competition Maurizio Biasini

Notation
- quarter-tone higher/lower

- cres. from silence

- flageolet grace notes - play the flageolets as fast as possible

- Rasgueado using the boxed chord, for the entire duration of the
wavy line.

- play as high as possible (higher than frets) on the specified strings.

The different indicated pitches are relative pitches within the range between
the end of the fingerboard and the bridge.

- fast aggressive arpeggio downwards, while all strings are damped.

The different pitches indicate different positions of damping the strings within
the range between the nut and the end of the fingerboard.

- Bartok pizz. - pluck violently, making the string rebound off the fingerboard

Scordatura
th
The 5 string should be tuned quarter tone lower:

The score is written as sounds, care should be taken when reading the notes of string 5
which is tuned ! tone lower.

Time
In addition to regular time notation, an unmeasured notation is applied to some parts
of the piece. In these parts, three types of fermatas imply general length indications:
- long - middle - short
Above each fermata, an exact time indication is given these indications shouldnt be
treated strictly. One should adjust the length of the fermatas to the acoustical features of
the performance space as well as to personal interpretation.
These passages should be played as continuous as possible, with smooth transitions
between the boxed notes.

Duration: approx. 7 minutes
