The notes present within flower brackets '{}' must be played at a higher speed than the other notes. If there is only one note present in the bracket then just give a touch of the note (don't prolong the note for a long time). That note is present to give better effect to the song. The notes present inside simple brackets '()' stand for the intrumental sounds which sometimes forms an integral part of a song. Usually if a note has to be prolonged it is followed by a series of dots. But the number of dots don't signify the duration of the note. That you can get by trying out for yourself. Note that these notes gives you only an outline of the song. You can perfect the song by experimenting with these notes.
