Esprit Rude/Esprit Doux [Rough Breathing/Smooth Breathing]
Carter, E

Esprit Rude/Esprit Doux for flute and clarinet was composed for the celebration of Pierre Boulez s 60th birthday on March 31, 1985 in Baden-Baden. The title translated as rough breathing/smooth breathing, refers to the pronunciation of classical Greek words beginning with a vowel or an R. With esprit rude (rough breathing) the initial vowel is to be preceded by a sounded H, and is indicated by a reversed comma above the letter. With esprit doux (smooth breathing) the initial vowel is not to be preceded by H and is indicated by a comma above the vowel. In the Greek for sixtieth year , the initial epsilon of the first word has a rough breathing sign while the epsilon of the second has a a smooth one.
