vertigo for solo violin - Full Score PDF (transposed and concert score)

vertigo uses scordatura (retuning) to achieve special "dizzying" texture. The constant alternation between the harmonics and conventional passages attempt to illustrate the sensation of vertigo: fear, disorientation and the momentary loss of balance. Andie Tanning premiered vertigo with the ensemble Redshift in 2010.
