Misc. Notes Based on poems 026-044 of the Shijing (see the filenames for the continuous numbering).
For "Sweet Maiden" (Op. 3 No. 17), eighth note = 40 is offered in the score as a practical upper limit for the beginning. Sentiment has its tempo, and performers should slow down for the heavy ornamentation in 256th notes and 512th notes, e.g. bar 13.
