Bemerkungen

Altersgemäß tadelloser Zustand / very good condition for its age - Beilage / supplement: copy basic pattern - For any number of musicians playing melody instruments plus any number of non-musicians playing anything. -- Musicians -- Begin ca 150, accelerate to ca 300. Sempre ff ( use amplification ) . All in strict unison; octave doubling allowed if at least two instruments in each octave. Read from left to right, playing the notes as follows: 1, 1-2,1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, etc. When you have reached note 65, play the whole melody once again and then begin subtracting notes from the beginning: 2-3-4.....65, 3-4-5....65,4-5-6....65....,62-63-64-65,63-64-65,64-65,65. Hold the last note until everybody has reached it, then begin an improvisation using any instruments. -- In the melody above, never stop or falter, always play loud. Stay together as long as you can, but if you get lost, stay lost. Do not try to find your way back into the fold Continue to follow the rules strictly. -- Non-Musicians are invited to make sound, any sound, preferably very loud, and if possible are provided with percussive or other instruments. The non-musicians have a leader, whom they may follow or not, and who begins the music thus: 150 etc. ( f sempre) . As soon as this pulse has been established any variations are possible. -- Suggested Theme for Non-Musicians: THE LEFT HAND DOESN'T KNOWWHATTHE RIGHT IS DOING - Footnote, 1980 • Since the writing of the above instructions in 1969, numerous performances have shown that a wide variety of interpretations of this piece can produce equally satisfying results, depending on the number and nature of instruments, desired length of performance, etc. Audience participation, for example, is not necessary in concert performance and is in fact rarely used. The limitations on tempo and dynamics may also be changed or disregarded. -- What should be respected are: the basic formal principle of adding and subtracting notes, the idea of getting lost, and playing in a common pulse. With larger numbers of players, it may be desirable for the musicians not to play all the time, i.e. to read the text silently while actually playing only from time to time. In this way it is possible to arrive at a semi-improvisational situation in which an orchestra, for example, will "orchestrate" itself in real time, while still adhering strictly to the written notes. The suggested free improvisation at the end may also be omitted. In this case the piece ends with the long held unison on C.
