 Far Infrared for Violin, Cello, Piano and two Ebows   By Sophie L. Stone     Circular bowing (any direction)  Composer's notes: - This piece explores the different timbres of the string instruments through slow and subtle changes in bowing techniques. - Ebows are used on a grand piano to create a constant sound and these are controlled by the pianist. Due to the structure of different pianos, some pitches are not possible, therefore pitches can be chosen from the following: movement one (F, Eb and Bb) and movement two (D, Eb, G# and A#). These pitches may also be achieved through harmonics. - Performers must play from the score and one performer must keep time. - The timings are an indication and do not have to be exact, but the piece should be approximately 8 minutes in length. - In the first movement, the cello player must not start until the pitch is sounded by the Ebow. In the second movement, the violin player must do the same. - For the piano, the pedal must be held throughout each movement, therefore when the player presses the keys, they can be released. - When bowing 2mm away from the string, the desired effect is minimal sound with possible accidental tapping of the string with the bow.  Notation: Short note Long note Play pitches in any order (pitches may be repeated) Glissando or shift between techniques Bow behind the bridge  Ebowspoop mpI.&Violino≤0'28"Violoncello?≤-ord.0'00"0'00"0'15"0'15"0'28"0'28"?°USophie L.
