<Tips for performance>
The dynamics, tempo, and articulations are added by the arranger for performance reference. You can freely change it if there are more effective one. (Example: The beginning of the first piece, Battaglia; has each phrase decrescendo, however it can be played with crescendo. Also, this part can be started with forte or piano. It is possible to add the effectiveness of the interaction by making the dynamics of the group and the two groups different.)
