Other Notes

In the beginning I just sat down with my guitar, listened to the singing and tried to figure out what chords would go with the tune. The bridge was a tough challenge and took me a fair amount of time.
In fact musetta's vocal track allows a variety of different interpretations. If I am not mistaken there have been remixes of it in 3/4 time but I ended up making this a 4/4 bossa. There probably is a distinct mood to each version…
