Hi all,

I have a commission for clavichord duo. The clavichord is an instrument
that is one of my favorites (I built one of the venerable Zuckerman kits
in 1969, but alas sold it during one of my poorer stretches). This is my
first clavichord commission, a very exciting prospect.

So to the question: Is there a standard notation for Bebung on the
clavichord? Since this is not a period piece, I can't depend on tradition
to guide its use.

I have seen tremolo notation to be interpreted as Bebung, but I'm
interested in a clearer set of symbols that indicate traditional Bebung
(slow-to-fast tremolo), slow Bebung (the equivalent of a guitar finger
pull), arpeggiated Bebung (overlapping), and modifications to these that
may come up as I write the piece.

Both existing practices and creative ideas welcome!

Dennis
