Composer's Note
The soloist is cast in the role of an opera singer, a versatile artist who
performs in four languages. He wakes in the morning and begins to run
through his repertoire. There are four arias, linked and interrupted by
recitatives. A climax of expressionist hysteria is reached in the third aria,
resolved by the cantilena of the fourth and the return to the somnolence of
the beginning.
Page 7Wie ein Schrei-a suitably harsh chord should be used, preferably
with the notated G flat at the top. The dedicatee precedes the chord with an
ascending glissando wail.
