While they are ordered in a manner that the composer finds dramatically compelling, performers should feel free to play them in a different order if they like. Each Sqwonklet is also designed to stand alone as a complete piece, and performers should feel free to perform as many or as few of the Sqwonklets on a program as they like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe two bass clarinet parts are generally divided throughout with the first part playing the higher and more melodic parts, and the second part playing lower and more groove-based parts. They are divided this way so that if there are players who are less comfortable playing high, they can stick to the second part. But performers who want more balance between the parts should feel free to swap parts between and even \u003ci\u003ewithin \u003c\/i\u003eindividual Sqwonklets as they like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAll of the Sqwonklets should be performed with lots of character and personality. Feel free to add vibrato, pitch bends, growls, ornaments, etc., and to change dynamics and articulations however you like.
