The task of realizing No. 3 gave David Tudor exceptional latitude as a performer. From Sylvano Bussotti’s score, Tudor crafted for himself a proportional score of extended techniques with no specific time duration. He freely travels from the upper left to the lower right, translating Bussotti’s drawings into graphic notations of sound events via a link of resemblance.
