PERFORMANCE TIPS
Measure #1:
Adagio
slowly: MM= about 70 beats per min.
dolce
Sweet, or Nice, maybe Tenderly
Measure #3 & #7:
Staccato notes inside a slur.
Sometimes called a “Portato”
Sometimes called a “Mezzo Staccato”
Whatever! For this song here is what you do:
Each staccato note inside the slur should be played with a slight emphasis using either your breath or a light tonguing style like you were saying “Do”. Make sure there is almost no break between the notes. That’s it!
Measure #9:
Allegro non troppo, ma con brio
“Allegro” = fast MM: 110 - 125
“non troppo” = not too much
“ma con brio” = but with fire or life
