76 There are a few problems that affect the flute and percussion players. There are several page-turn problems throughout the work that make photocopying the score a necessity. The flute player may spread each entire movement over several music stands while the percussionist, using two music stands, must fold and incorporate page turns during the work. The two sections that are musically affected by this problem occur in the final movement. At the end of page nineteen, the percussionist must set down a pair of sticks, turn the page and play with hands on drums. The flute note can be held while the percussionist makes the necessary moves. Dahl was aware of the problem and provided a fermata in the first measure of page twenty. The turn from page twenty-one to twenty-two also makes it necessary for the flute player to hold the first note of the next page until the percussionist makes the necessary page turn and stick change. Both performers must always be conscious of a potential balance problem. Dahl was obviously aware of this potential problem and attempted to solve it by writing the flute part one dynamic level higher than the percussion part. He also suggests that mutes may be used. Because of this constant balance problem, the percussionist must perform with the restraint of a chamber setting rather than the wide dynamic range of a large ensemble setting.
