The time signature of the first Allegro is 2/2 (2 half beats per measure), and the time signature of the Moderato and the second Allegro is 'cut' time (shown by a 'C' with a vertical line through it), which is another way of writing 2/2. Though 2/2 and cut time are interpreted by most people the same way, cut time is sometimes associated with older music or with formal or church music. The MIDI tempos are: 1st Allegro 60 bpm, Moderato 56 bpm, 2nd Allegro 60 bpm Notes in the sheet that are shown as continuing to ring are written in the tab tab as continuing to ring while other notes are played, rather than being held before any other notes are played - but see below re measures 61 and 62. measure 40 - in the sheeet the top note of the 1st chord is G (not G#) - the G may be correct (as in the last note of measures 7, 16 & 23 of the first Allegro, though here too a G# is not out of the question) but it is too dissonant for my tender ears! [comments welcome from anyone familiar with other works by Yuksel Koptagel] measure 41 - in the sheet the top note of the 1st chord is B (7th fret) not A - a B is possible, but it's a strange way to start a movement! measure 61 - in the sheet the chord on the 1st beat is a quarter note that continues to ring (which isn't possible with the bottom F unless it is allowed to ring before the next note is played) measure 61 - the top note of the chord on the 1st beat isn't clear - it looks as if there was a C (above the A) which has been half-erased measure 62 - if notes shown as continuing to ring are held before the next note is played then the first chord could be played in the lower frets. left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - length of note, note held, duration =-= - let the note ring, don't dampen the sound arp. - arpeggiate - ripple upwards from the lowest note to the highest note bpm - beats per minute c1 - part barre on the 5th fret c7 - part barre on the 7th fret C7 - barre on the 7th fret C8 - barre on the 8th fret c9 - part barre on the 9th fret ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
