This is in the keys of Am (meas. 1-16) and A (meas. 17-25) and is in alla breve time (2/2) time; '|'s represent the half note beats and '.'s represent the quarter note beats between them. Note the extensive use of 16th note triplets and the 32nd notes in measure 16. All of this makes it an interesting piece to count. Note that rit. stands for ritardando (a gradual slowing of the time). This piece has a nice and easy dreamy feel. Let me know if you find any mistakes.
