Untouched for String Quartet - 4 copies of Players Score 弦樂四重奏

"多年來，我的大型合奏作品有時包括絃樂四重奏。然而，我直到五十九歲才寫出第一首絃樂四重奏作品。現在，在我的第二首絃樂四重奏中，演奏者的手指仍未觸及指板。這首樂曲中沒有正常的停止音。所有的音都是以自然和聲或開弦的方式發出的。使用的最高諧波是 10 次諧波。一些諧音在作為雙諧音演奏時可能會更加嘹亮。例如，6 次諧波可以通過同時觸碰 2 次和 3 次諧波的節點來產生。動態是自由的。但在任何時刻，空氣中的所有聲音都應保持平衡"。約翰-路德-亞當

原文簡介:
“Over the years my large ensemble works have sometimes included string quartet. However, I didn't write my first piece for string quartet alone until I was fifty-nine. Now, in my second string quartet, the fingers of the players still have yet to touch the fingerboard. This music contains no normal stopped tones. All the sounds are produced either as natural harmonics or on open strings. The highest harmonic utilized is the 10th. Some of the harmonics may be more resonant when played as double harmonics. For example, the 6th harmonic can be produced by simultaneously touching the nodes for the 2nd and 3rd harmonics. Dynamics are free. But all the sounds in the air at any moment should be equally balanced.” –John Luther Adams
