Table setup:

Michèle suggests that you switch your flats with your naturals for this piece.  For example, put Eb5 in the E5 space, Ab5 in the A5 space, Bb5 in the B5 space, Db6 in the D6 space, and Eb6 in the E6 space.

 

Choreography:

The written choreography for mm. 35-49 did not include flat signs. Just remember that all As & Es in the choreography are supposed to be flat.

 

mm. 9-32: Consider playing these on bell tree rather than 6iH. String 2 trees: one with D6, E6, F#6 and G6; and one with A6, B6, C7, D7 and E7. Michèle recommends that you string your trees so that the largest bell is at the top, bearing the weight of the other bells
m. 35 and 37: displace G5 to space between Eb5 and F#5 *
m. 36 and 38: return G5 to its home position
m. 41-42: keep the Ab5 in left hand and play Ab/F rather than indicated F/Ab. Return F5 to home position after beat 2, keeping Ab5 in hand for beat 4
m. 45: Michèle doesn't do the sub piano until m. 46
m. 47: Michèle leaves out the F5

*note: where those bells usually go, not between where they're setup for this piece
