Multiphonics in Pianissimo

These interesting sounds are very difficult to control and can only be produced on a very soft dynamic level (pp). Just eight different kinds of pitches are possible, employing the fingering indicated in the notation examples. It is almost impossible to produce these sounds with other articulations than a plain and slow legato.
