Errata

Some newer editions may already have these corrections. If you have an older copy, please contact me for a complimentary updated score.

  • 32, the crescendo should come on the previous eighth note, on the words “They don’t.”
  • 49, take a little time
  • 53, the tempo marking should read “slightly slower,” and this newer tempo carries through the next two measures, then the poco rit. starts as written.
