Из автобиографии:

Несмотря на свой ужасный почерк, я стал ротным писарем и редактором боевого листка, знание нотной грамоты позволило быстро стать начальником ротного духового оркестра, без которого не проходил ни один смотр.

Music(al) notation knowledge/fluency


Explanation:
Music notation or musical notation is a way of writing down music so that anyone can play it. Many systems have been used in the past to write music. Today most musicians in the Western world write musical notes on a stave: five parallel lines with four spaces in between them. However, there are many others, some of which are in use today in different cultures.
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_notation

Musical symbols are the marks and symbols, used since about the 13th century in the musical notation of musical scores, styles, and instruments to describe pitch, rhythm, tempo and, to some degree, its articulation (a composition in its fundamentals).
