Arranged by PD. february 2003

Note: As usually the arrangement was done with freedom.

Unfortuately the melodic bass is hardly included in this

arrangement. Note the extensive use of syncopations,

you may have difficulties with them. The fingering is

also not something obvious, but with an intermediate

experience it won't be problem for you.
