  Ped = use the pedal on the right to sustain the tone
  
  f = play loud
  
  sometimes music notes also plays in the region of other clefs, so play according.

  it's an essential to know how to read music notes (tow gays).
  
  when sight-reading, you can't expect to refer to the scale right or not?
