Notes
~~~~~
thanks to Peter Henderson for the following correction - 25 November 2024
measure 9 - 4th note changed to B (open 5th string) (from G, open 4th string)

The time signature of the sheet music is 3/4 (to emphasise that it is a waltz),
but the sheet music is written as though it were 3/8, which usually means that
the piece is to be played at a fast rather than a slow tempo.
The tempo of the Norbert Neunzling video is 160 bpm (eighth notes).
The tempo of the Ronald Fuchs video and the MIDI is 120 bpm (eighth notes).

measure 7  - in the sheet the 5th note is F# (not G#) - the tab follows the
             Ronald Fuchs audio, which sounds more natural
measure 9  - in the sheet the 1st note is a quarter note (held for 2 beats!)
measure 13 - Ronald Fuchs plays B-G# (on 5th & 3rd strings) (not D-A)

=   - note held
g   - grace note (ornament) - the following note is an immediate hammer-on
s   - slide up
C2  - barre on the 2nd fret with the 1st finger
