In ’Nocturno’, the harmonic palette is expanded further by introducing microtonality. The microtones (rounded to the nearest quarter tone in the notation) are produced by plucking the strings over the fingerboard on the ‘wrong’ side of the left-hand grip. Other extended playing techniques include producing microtones by first muting the strings with the right hand and then hammering the strings with the left hand, allowing the strings to resonate between the nut and the grip.
The unconventional playing techniques introduced in this etude make it possible to let more than six different notes ring out simultaneously.
