Hi Guys,
Could anyone explain any of the markings and signs in this piece? There are several I have never seen.
Thanks,
Rob

Luciano Berio was a close friend of mine and has recently passed away.
He was a dear man who wrote great music for many of us.
While I played with the Berio Ensemble in NYC, on US & Europe tours, and at the Spoleto Festival, he made many famous quotable comments.
With regard to multiphonics:
He was very influenced by the then brand new "Bartolozzi(sp.)" book on woodwind fingerings for multiphonics and other effects. It was all very new and untried territory at the time.
Luciano would often ask us if an effect was possible, as he was working on a new piece. We offered many suggestions and tried to help him invent a "new language." Berio never lied musically.

Yes, I have to agree, L. Berio was one of the greatest composers of our time, had a vast imagination and pushed music and composition to a new level. I always admired his sense of completeness in a piece, the demandment that you have to have a distinct and clear idea of what a composition as a whole has to sound like, before one could start and write down the differentiations of each voice. His death means a terrible loss to me.
