(with this part where the 4-5-4-3 happens on the 2nd string, I just
picked the string and shifted the fingers instead of picking each time.
Sounded more natural.)

2.  "Love Theme from The Godfather"
composed by Nino Rota
This piece is repetitive so I generally break it into four parts,
with a short "interlude" which appears twice throughout the piece.
