Reading the upper line is not difficult at all. (It
uses a treble clef, but it is placed on the bottom
line of the staff, so that the notes on the lines are
now g-b-d-f-a). I first tried to read from this
notation by mentally transposing the part, but then I
realized that the notes are exactly the same as bass
clef. All you have to do is play everything in the
right octave and you're on your way.
