Braxton, and about accoustics

Author: Markus Wenninger  Date:   2005-02-23 06:48 2 in 1, for brevity: 1. Driving me desperate, slowly: 3 of our ensemble want to perform the "Composition No 94" for trio by Anthony Braxton - but the composer seems unreachable, and the score therefore also. It seems impossible to perform any of Braxton´s oeuvre but from the xeroxed sheets he hands out himself then. Any help? 2. For You physics wizs out there: If i play a piece for an instrument in Bb with one in Eb, and come to the fingerings for the multiphonics: if it´s, e.g., an as I use instead of the "prescribed" ss, won´t the overtones sounding in the resulting multiphonic be the same, since the build and the mechanics of the instrument family are identical internally? If it´s a solo piece (aka not being accompanied by sultry strings or anything of that wailing department...), the internal intonations from note to note are correct, no matter what tuning is played, because of the mentioned identity of the instruments. I know how multiphonics are structured when produced, so methought it might be just the same with them as with "single" notes. But I can already smell I´m mistaken. Please enlighten me on this. Markus

I knew that Mr Braxton teaches there at the Wesleyan - I pray that he might be in and answer my mail (juding from the university I am writing my dissertation at, this won´t be the case... Markus
