Notes for Learners
Aguado's Waltz in G is in binary form, meaning it's in two parts, A & B. Each part is eight bars long and is repeated, so the overall playing plan is A A B B. It's mostly just a simple melody with certain notes harmonised with chord tones.
The time signature of 3/4 "three-four" means there are three beats to the bar and each beat has the value of one quarter note. To put it another way, each quarter note lasts exactly one beat. The duration of each beat depends on the speed or tempo you've chosen to play it at.
The 'rit' sign at bar 12 is short for ritardando and means slow down, while the 'a tempo' sign in the next bar is an instruction to resume your previous playing speed (tempo).
