Part of my working part for ‘Pernambuco’. I am the bane of Nigel’s life. He prepares beautiful materials, and I scrawl all over them. The brackets around the double-stopped harmonic-plus ‘like a sigh’ is legacy of conversations the composer and I have had about this. For the third recording that I made of this work, in 2007, we removed the figure. I confess that I have let it creep back. I have performed this piece upwards of 300 times.
