Hi all,
I have a project for which I need to write for Glass Armonica. I
have come across this instrument before but I'm not sure if I
remember the proper way to note for it. I seem to remember that
it is written on a grand staff but with both staves in treble clef
and I think it is written an octave lower than where it sounds.
But I'm not sure.
Is that correct?
I recently published a piece for this instrument (García:
_llovizna_), where it was notated on a grand staff w. two treble
clefs, but at the sounding pitch.
According to Sybil Marcuse (who is not always to be trusted), the
instrument's original range was g0 - g2 (Helmholtz numbering),
which would make perfect sense on two treble clefs at actual pitch.
The pitch was later expanded to c0 - c4, which would require 5
ledger lines above the top staff and 4 below the bottom staff.
If the instrument were written an octave below its sounding
pitch (like the celesta), this expanded range would require the
use of bass clef.
