Similarly, I feel that interpretation, dynamics, tempi, and phrasing should be guided not only by the composer but also by the performer. I am often delighted when I hear a performance of my music that includes new expressive ideas. The indicated tempi are suggestions, not specific requirements." - Matthew Dunne This is not an easy piece to play. There are difficult stretches, some discords and subtle changes of rhythm. The time signature in the sheet is 4/4, but the rhythm within the measures is mostly 3+3+2 eighth notes (rather than the 2+2+2+2 eight notes). Measures 38 & 39 seem especially discordant - check the Michael Cohen video on how to minimise the damage / enhance the beauty. measure 16 - the last 2 notes are sixteenth notes left hand fingering (LHF) below the tab - 1 - index finger (forefinger) 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger (pinkie) === - note held, length of note > - (above the tab) accented, marked, stressed > > > - (below the tab) decrescendo - becoming softer, growing quieter arp. - arpeggiate - ripple upwards from the lowest note to the highest note bpm - beats per minute (quarter notes) h - hammer-on mp - mezzopiano - moderately soft C1 - barre on the 1st fret C2 - barre on the 2nd fret [etc] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the latest version of this tab can be found at http://www.classtab.org if you come across any mistakes please let me know - weed@wussu.com
