Wind-machine notation examples

Post by NeeraWM »

Could anyone provide an example or two of the notation for turning the handle of a wind machine?
The people on the Adobe forum who have been helping me to realise the chained loops the composer wrote in the manuscript asked for real notated examples in the repertoire.

Check the scores for Richard Strauss' Don Quixote and Alpine Symphony.

Both are on IMSLP.

Fifth movement ("Cloudburst") of Grofé's Grand Canyon Suite.

EDIT: I just realized I had this score in my collection.

It just shows tied whole notes and dynamics.
