there are four instruments, each with his own staff. all four are
playing just 8th notes in a different tempo. the very last note is
played together, simultaneously. for the first instrument, this is
the 8th note no. 513. for the first instrument, this is the 8th
note no. 631. for the first instrument, this is the 8th note no.
483. and for the first instrument, this is the 8th note no. 379.
