Work comment
The two players should be set up on each side of the stage, facing each other.
The dynamics should stay within the pp range unless otherwise indicated.
The sticks should be two-tone or one, whichever will give the best sound.
It should be a soft-spoken, whispering dialogue between the two players.
The tempo should not be any faster than a quaver = 60 BPM.
