Instructions:

Ossia staff: The most dominant tones in the cluster

(When nothing is mentioned, every note in the

chord sounds equal)

(squared notehead): prepared melody

The arrow means: ‘going into’. Other tones of

the cluster become now more dominant

Preparation of the strings:

Sound : approximate harpsichord sound

Material : heavy magnets (or a good alternative found by the

player)Be sure it is something that keeps attached to the
strings during loud passages when the strings vibrate heavily.

Placement: cover 2 of the 3 strings, so the resonance is not

fully blocked. If the magnets are big enough they can overlap
two neighbouring notes.

Place the magnets where they create nice resonating partials

without being to close to eachother so they don’t attract each
other.
