Performance instructions: "The pianoforte part to be considered as a setting of the poetical accent. The bars always precede the accented syllable and in the event of a long phrase in one bar a second shorter bar precedes the less accented syllable. If there should be any doubt as to the scansion of the lines as set, the relative value of each syllable will be shown by notes of such value as is required. When the voice does not commence with the first note of the bar rests are used. The silent bars (for reciter) must be carefully remembered. In every case the pianoforte part to be treated as an accompaniment, never louder than the voice, and to take the varying tempi always from the reciter. The marks of expression apply to both piano and voice. N.B. It is only necessary for voice and accompaniment to be together on the first syllable after the bar line. The reciter is otherwise free."
