What do these symbols mean?

In Savion Glover's latest smash hit, Classical Savion, the Tony Award-winning, tap-dancing phenomenon applies his unique sense of musicality and his incredible theatricality to classic works by Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Dvořák, and Bartók. Glover's high-energy performances have thrilled audiences around the world, and his moves single him out as the Astaire or Baryshnikov of his art form. Think you've heard Vivaldi's Four Seasons? Not if you haven't heard it tapped out through the metal-studded soles of this sensational dancer. Backed by a string ensemble and jazz combo, Glover's "stamina is unflagging, his energy unquenchable and his virtuosity unbeatable...sequences resembled bursts of firecrackers" (The New York Times).
