COMMENTS: the scordatura transp. in G (dAEB) sounds a bit clearer. However, the scordatura transp. in D (AEBF#) sounds also very well, a very long fingerboard (2 octaves plus major sixth) would be necessary to play the highest tone short before the end of the 2nd movement. The final passage before the end of the first movement can be performed an octave lower at the place maked with "8va". The updated version (from February 2024) includes also scanned parts for both scordaturas used by Božo Paradžik including all markings (such as fingerings, bowings, etc)
