Performance Notes − Noteheads with an “x” indicate to stop the sound of the strings while tapping the soundboard, creating a percussive sound. − Tambora: indicated by square noteheards. Strike the strings close to the bridge with the thumb. − Natural Harmonics: The pitch indicated is the sounding pitch. − Strumming: Chords of 4 or more notes are to be strummed.
