History
KN-(J-6)
1
R10 was completed 7/15/71 as the second piece in a 3-piece series
(2 string quartets and a quintet) involving my own process of relative-
fixed phrases (order aspect) and relative conceptualization (property
aspect). This piece is dedicated to my brother Lawrence Fouche.

Instructions
Each player receives 2 sections of Part I, 1 section of Part II and 2 sections
of Part III. Actual performance has to do with interpreting the phrase
groups (each group is determined by an arrow). The first violinist will cue
each ensemble section, lettered from A to F, which tells how many phrase
groups to play before going back for the next cue.

Phrase Groups
In performing the piece, each phrase group is to be played forward-
backward-forward. On the last forward all breaks are to be played (breaks
in this case are substituting for 3rd endings). Tempo is set by the scale,
and once set should be maintained throughout performance.
