Notes
20th century. Acoustic. 70 Measures. key of d. 7 Pages. Time Signature 4/4. From the album “at home”. Music originally for “The Merry Widow” orchestra by Franz Lehar.
Measure 40: There’s a slide from the 1st to 2nd notes of the triplets on strings 1 and 3, with a hammer-on on the 2nd string while doing the slide. It’s easier to do than to describe.
