NOTES: The piece is written for double bass in orchestral tuning. Roman numerals indicate the string on which a note should be played (i.e. I-G, IV-E). Natural harmonics with an o indication are notated where they sound. Natural harmonics with a diamond notehead are notated where they should be played (resulting pitch is different from notated pitch). There are two types of artificial harmonics used: a fourth and a third. They should be fingered while simultaneously fingering the diamond notehead harmonic on the same string. In the double stops with harmonics the note stems are positioned in opposite directions.
