match ball bounces as close as possible (rhythm is approx.)

II. Adagio Allettante

The movement starts with the pianist carrying the bag of ping-pong balls and standing center stage. He/she will have to ensure that there is absolute silence before proceeding. When relatively slow succession of bounces is required, the ball could be thrown upwards initially.

1.Bounce one ball offthe floor, catch it, pause for approx. 3''

Dur.: 25-30''

3.Gradually increase the frequency of bouncing, still using only one ball, with shorter pauses in between.

3''

2. Let it bounce 3-4 times with the bouncing speed accelerating slightly, pause for approx. 3''

3''

The cello player walks in, as if "lured" by the sounds of ping-pong balls bouncing. Takes his/her place.

Dur.: 20-25''

4. Throw upward a ball so that it will bounce at least once or twice slowly before accelerating. Repeat.The cello player will "match" thesound of the balls with his/her 3 groups of pitches.

Group 1

At the same time as the cello is playing together with the bouncing ball sounds, the other two players enter and take their places.

Group 3

5. The pianist, standing with their face to the players, starts to bounce more than one ball, at different heights, frequency and loudness. Start with 2 balls and clearly acknowledge which of the players should follow them: cello+violin, cello+viola, violin+viola. Try to leave as little gap between bouncing balls as possible:the audience has to have the feeling that the created texture of sounds + bouncesthickens gradually. Each instrument has 4 groups of pitches:choose randomly between them for each bouncing succession. N.B. It is not necessary to catch all the balls after bouncing - leave them on the floor and use new ones.

Dur.: 1:30 min

6. Start throwing three balls simultaneously: violin, viola and cello each "follows" a different one with his/her pitch group (p.g.5 pitches are playedin random order alternating articulations between legato-staccato, going gradually "out of sync" with the bouncing rhythm.

If the ball you are following stops bouncing, follow another or just keep playing similar rhythm until No.7 (watch pianist).

Dur.: approx. 20''

Pitch group 5 If the ball you are following stops bouncing, follow another or just

keep playing similar rhythm until No.7 (watch pianist).

7. Piano: throw all the remaining balls up in the air to start bouncing and take your place at the piano. Violin, Viola and Cello: respond by playing next group of pitches, startingwith the rhythm of bouncing but quickly alternating between staccato and legato and short and long note values and changing the rhythmic patterns. N.B. Long note values should be used only on open string pitches.

Gather as many balls from the floor as you can find. Then stand with your back to the audience, next to each other, as if hiding the pianist from view.Then start dropping the balls inside the piano while the pianist plays the followinf section.
