Dynamics
If
there
is
no
indication
of
dynamic
signals
after
the
crescendo
e
decrescendo
signals,
a
dynamic
level
above
or
below
should
be
adopted.
Ornaments
All
the
acciaccaturas
and
appoggiaturas
must
be
played
before
the
tempo.
Mallets
All
mallets
are
indicated
(written)
in
the
score.
Special
notations
Improvisatory
section.
Play
as
indicated
in
the
score,
always
ad.
lib.
Indicates that the note must last until the end of the sub-sequential line.
Play
the
rhythmic
section
in
a
loop,
repeating
as
many
times
as
necessary,
following
the
indications
written
in
the
score.
The
event
must
last
until
the
end
of
the
sub-sequential
dashed
line.
If
indicated,
the
player
should
start
another
rhythmic
section.
It
will
be
notated
in
the
score.
A
piacere
The
conductor
will
signal
the
beginning
of
a
non-conducted
section.
In
such
cases,
the
conductor
gives
one
sign
to
the
players,
at
the
beginning
of
the
section,
which
is
then
performed
ad
libitum
until
the
conductors
next
sign,
respecting
the
numbers
on
top
of
the
score.
These
sections
are
notated
with
duration
in
seconds
instead
of
the
usual
time
signature.
The
conductor
should
try
to
respect
the
time
display
located
above,
keeping
a
margin
of
about
10%
more
or
less
than
the
one
determined
by
the
composer. The
figures
with
metric
values
in
the
partially
undetermined
sections
have
suggestive
character.
The
distance
between
the
notes
is
how
close
they
should
be
played
within
that
time.
