KAIJA SAARIAHO Start to recite thè text slowly and calmly but with a well audible voice (if
possible by heart, eyes towards the audience). While speaking Iift the f lute
very slowly towards the lips (reaching them at the point marked) and
LACONISME DE L'AILE change your voice gradually f rom speaking into lorced whispering. The
for solo flute (19S2) fingers should be kept ready in position lor the first sound (d1). The tempo
with optional electronics
should slow down and the speaking become successively less understand-
dedicated to Anne Raitio able, the words should gradually be bound together to- form a single line.
