This score is a revised version [January 2009]
Antecedente X
for :
-Tenor saxophon
-Percussion: snare drum, tom-tom, hi-hat, suspended cymbal and vibraphone
-Piano

The piece is divided in sections from A to H

The dynamics in the piece are: ppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff

The symbol indicates infinite repetition of the same figure until the next event appears.

Left hand (upper stave, 1, 2, 3)

Right hand (lower stave, 4, 5, 6)

SAXOPHONE
In all the piece it is important to mix as much as possible the key clicks,
the real sound and the eolian sound.

Saxophone upper stave indicates ordinary play.

The lower staves indicates percussion keys: the upper stave corresponds to the left hand,
the lower to the right.
The triangle-note in the upper stave indicates air injection, while playing key clicks.
Whent played mf or f it could produce a small column of overtones.
eol. indicates eolian sound (air sound), see exemple bar 35.
Important note: while playing the percussion keys marked on the lower staves,
the other keys of the saxophone remain closed.
velato [bar 45] is a rapid succession of indeterminate notes that cannot be recognized separetely.

PIANO

A small circle crossed by a line indicates to mute directly on the strings with one hand, see exemple bar 65.
In the piano, cluster arpeggio, see exemple bar 96.
