Only some of the ornaments in the original MSS are shown - feel free to add your own. Similarly some of the bass notes can be moved up or down an octave, or can be doubled (either the same note played on 2 strings or played together with a note one octave higher or lower). The tempo of the Meredith Connie video and the MIDI is 72 bpm (quarter notes). measure 7 - in the Dresden and London editions the C# on the 4th beat is missing measure 8 - the Chiesa and Forget editions have both G# and A on the 1st beat but Brojer moves the A to the 2nd note (which is more playable) measure 15 - the Chiesa edition has a B (5th string 2nd fret) (quarter note) on the 4th beat (together with the F#) measure 16 - the Brojer edition has a B (5th string 2nd fret) in the chord measure 19 - the London and Dresden editions have D (2nd string 3rd fret) on the 4th beat (not A) measure 22 - the Brojer edition has G# (6th string) on the 1st beat (not F#) measure 22 - in the Vienna edition the chord on the 3rd beat also has a D# (2nd string 3rd fret) measure 23 - in the Brojer edition the 5th note is A (1st string, 5th fret) (not E#, 2nd string 6th fret) - the A is easier on the ear! measure 24 - the Chiesa edition has C# (not B#) in the chord on the 1st beat measure 30 - the C# on the 1st beat is only in the Forget edition measure 32 - the Forget/Grangereau edition has the following - 32 | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | .
