Actually, I have an old Schirmer edition of the Clementi Sonatinas laying
around from the days when I dabbled some with the piano.  I just dug it out
and played through to the first repeat in No.1. (on the guitar).  Not hard
at all to pretty much sight read through the piano bass and treble clefs -
just by changing a few things in the bass as you go.
