Measures 25-38 are a repeat of measures 1-14. Order of play: 1-16, 1-16, 17-24, 17-24, 25-40 The piece would be easier if all the Es were played on open strings, but this would make it more diffficult to play them staccato. [Comments welcome!] left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger > - accented, marked, stressed bpm - beats per minute mf - mezzoforte - moderately loud mp - mezzopiano - moderately soft s - staccato - detached, cut off, the note is not held for its full value |--- ---| repeat the section |--- ---| |*-- --*| |*-- --*| |--- ---| |--- ---| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
