In the middle section, an ancient horn resounds across the trees." - Maria Linnemann The tempo of the MIDI is 96 bpm (beats per minute - quarter notes). The order of play is measures 1-17,18-25,18-24,26,27-41,42-43,42-43,44-70. The rhythm is mostly 3/4 (except for measure 69 which is 4/4) but in the sheet the notes in some of the measures are arranged as if the rhythm was 6/8. Use hammers and pull-offs for the mordents.
