~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ measures 1-24: C major; measures 24-48: F major; measures 49-72: C major MIDI tempo: 150 bpm (beats per minute - eighth notes) order of play: 1-8, 1-8, 9-24, 9-24, 25-32, 25-32, 33-48, 33-48, 49-72 measures 6,54 - in the sheet the first note is marked 'pouce' meaning it was intended to be played with the thumb of the left hand - this was common at the time, when most guitar necks were narrower than those today - other composers who used this technique include Mertz, Giuliani, and Carulli measures 17-24 - these are the same as measures 1-8 measure 45 - Matteo Laurenzi plays G (4th string 5th fret) in the reference video (not Bb - 4th string 8th fret) measures 49-72 - these are the same as measures 1-24 (without the repeats) left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - note held c1 - part barre on the 1st fret with the 1st finger C1 - barre on the 1st fret with the 1st finger c8 - part barre on the 8th fret with the 1st finger f - (below the tab) forte - loud g - grace note (ornament) - extra note(s) played immediately before the main note, then quickly released - the following note is usually played as a hammer-on, pull-off, or slide - it is often easier to play grace notes on the beat rather than just before it - here it is played as a hammer-on dolce - sweetly p - (below the tab) piano - soft p - (between the notes) pull-off pp - pianissimo - very soft sf - sforzando - strongly accented, suddenly louder |--- ---| |--- ---| |*-- --*| repeat the section |*-- --*| |--- ---| |--- ---|
