The tempo of the MIDI is 112 bpm. The tempo given in the sheet of 140 bpm seems far too fast for a Valse triste (sad waltz). The Max Coradduzza reference video does not repeat measures 18-25. Order of play: 1-8, 9-16, 9-15, 17, 18-25, 18-25, 26-46 left hand fingering below tab right hand fingering above tab 1 - index finger p - thumb 2 - middle finger i - index finger 3 - ring finger m - middle finger 4 - little finger (pinky) a - ring finger === - note held, length of note, duration ' - slight pause, breath mark (luftpause) < < < - (below the tab) crescendo - growing louder > > > - (below the tab) decrescendo - becoming softer <12> - natural (open) (octave) harmonic on the 12th fret bpm - beats per minute c12 - light barre on the 12th fret with the little finger f - forte - loud h - hammer-on l.v. - laissez vibrer (let vibrate) - let it ring, don't dampen the sound Lento - slow mf - mezzoforte - moderately loud molto - much, very (molto rit. - suddenly slowing right down) p - (below the tab) piano - soft poco - little (poco rit. - slowing down a little) rall. - rallentando - slowing down (often becoming gradually softer) rit. - slowing down, suddenly slower tempo - speed (a tempo - return to the earlier speed) repeat the section 1____ play the 1st time 2_______ play on repeat |--- ---| |-----------------------| ---|-----------------------| |--- ---| |-----------------------| ---|-----------------------| |*-- --*| |----------------------*| --*|-----------------------| |*-- --*| |----------------------*| --*|-----------------------| |--- ---| |-----------------------| ---|-----------------------| |--- ---| |-----------------------| ---|-----------------------| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
