Without joke, here is the trick. Insert the mute a few measures earlier, but lift it out a bit, so it sound like open. One 1/8th rest will be enough to push the mute in. But it does not matter at all, if that single note is played open but very softly or con sord. It just looks interesting in the score.

There will not be any difference. ... At this low note & low dynamic there is no distinction in the sound. The composer either wanted it very soft or did use the con sord. markings only, because it exists (composers often use certain "markings", because they are possible. If it makes sense or not, that´s not a question for them !!!) ********* Ich hoffe that you attention paying are, Howard. After all, Hans hat den Long Call over zwei hundert times gespielt, einschließlich drei times in Amahl, so knows he whereof er spricht. Muss gehn, Kohl ************** Life should be easier.
