Hello,
I’m a new harpist and I love your music. I was hoping you could help me with clarification on notation for the piece An Buachaille. After the pickup measure, in the first and third measures to start I see the sheet music shows a G note being played in the bass with finger 1, and the same note being played with finger 3 in the right hand. I was wondering how you intended this to be played. Any help would be much appreciated.
With great respect and regards,
J
