O friend, a capital song! and first-rate music! Distinctness is attained, even though she plays with her bare fingers; good time is kept, clearly defined in due divisions of slow, medium, and quick; the three pauses are rendered in proper order with the "gopuchchha" first; the three modes of playing are fully shown in the slow and quick accompaniments.
