Performance Notes

In the Percussion 1 part, the suspended cymbal should by played by using a drum stick to strike half way between the edge and the bell of the cymbal. The player can let the cymbal vibrate except where the note is marked with a staccato. It would be best to mount the instrument in the Percussion 2 part to aid in moving quickly from one instrument to another.
