This article will suggest guidelines in choosing instruments for a realization of “Psappha” with three goals in mind: to stay as true as possible to Xenakis’s stated intentions for the piece as well as his general stylistic traits, to create the most efficient and comfortable configuration of instruments for ease of performance, and to allow the performer the greatest possible expressiveness and variety of media within the previously stated bounds.
