[About the meaning of the phrase]
Some of the melodies in the phrases are difficult to understand, but if they were made easy to remember, you would end up playing them from memory rather than reading the music, which would not be good practice for reading music.
I hope you understand the intent of this book.

[Errata]
In the first and second editions, the "Note Length" section at the bottom of EX4-2 on page 17 was incorrect.
We sincerely apologize for this and will make the following corrections:

[Differences in rhythmic notation]
Additional comment from the editorial department: In this book, you may see different rhythmic notations such as "ta" and "tan" for the same quarter note. This is because the feeling of rhythm that a player gets changes depending on the phrase and combination of notes. Depending on the combination of preceding and following notes, the same quarter note may feel like "ta" or "tan." Author Jun Kajiwara has commented that "To understand the rhythm in simple scores, it's fine to progress by gradually incorporating your own style as the rhythm gets more complex."
