Assuming that you're referring to the lines, it simply means that those are the relationships that are supposed to be stressed. Think of the un-stressed sixteenth note as a sort of classical "ghost tone," but don't actually ghost the note.
Twenty Five Caprices and and Atonal Sonata sigfrid karg-elert
Can someone who has worked on these etudes explain to me the notation that occurs at the bottom of the very first etude? It is a little unclear. Thank you!

those are my favorite saxophone pieces. difficult but great music.
Thanks, I think I know what you are getting at. Almost as if those notes were accented.

the Caprices No. I, IV, VI, VIII and XXIV are written in the moto perpetuel style (perpetual mtotion: to be played at an uninterupted, continuous uniform speed) The introduction of practcally indispensable breathing-rests must be left to the player -according to his breathing technique, and the speed at which he may be practising - while he must observe the fundamental rules of phrasing and delivery which say that "whole phrases must not be interrupted!" Only at the real close of a phrase, may he be allowed to take breath immediately before a strong beat. The simplest way is to delay taking breath after the strong beat. If, however, it is impossible to do so, the player should simply leave out the note following the strong beat (unless that note forms an inseparable part of the theme or subject) and introduce a rest in its stead. As a rule, it is musically a far lesser fault to omit one or two notes, than to disturb the strict rhthm.

Danke schoen, Herr Christian, for your attention and insight. I'll be looking for that CD. My students (esp the tenor and baritone majors) and I have found your Singelee CD quite necessary and enjoyable.

I have just obtained a copy of Karg-Elert. The caprices obviously are of varying difficulty. Is anyone inclined to suggest a possible sequence (or part of one) for learning them, starting with the easier ones?
A few good ones to start with that are relatively easier than the others in the book:I have just obtained a copy of Karg-Elert. The caprices obviously are of varying difficulty. Is anyone inclined to suggest a possible sequence (or part of one) for learning them, starting with the easier ones?

FWIW, it's not cool to share copies of music that are in print and under copyright.
