Short ID: CV5. Title: Carnival of Venice - Variation 5. Composer: Zani de Ferranti. Tuning: E B E G# B E. Time sig: 6/8. Fixes, modifications and comments (M=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String): M17 original shows no glissando. Glissando dash added here. M37p3, m38p6 glissando dash in the original spans the 2 preceding 16th notes, which are themselves connected with a slur. In the second case, this might mean to glissando with finger 1 rather than finger 2 after hammering-on with finger 2. M13 original indicates "D - - - - " for the whole measure. Presumably, this means "Daumen", German for thumb. (If it means the string that is ordinarily tuned to D, that is not possible for the second half of the measure.) "D" is also indicated at m37p4. The original shows no arpeggiation symbols for the chords in this variation. Tablature elements to be added by hand: Slurs. If only a starting point is given, slur includes all the following uninterrupted notes on the same string. M4 p7-12s5. M8 p7-12s5. M12 p7-12s5. M13 p1-2s4, p3-4s4, p7-8s4, p9-10s4. M16 p7-12s5. M27 p1s1. M29 p1s1. M31 p1s1 (not shown in the original.) M33 p1s1. M34 p1s1. M36 p1-2s1. M37 p4-5s4, p6-m38p1s4. Fermatas: M33 p6. M38 p1. M38 p2. Take a moment to fill out the 16th-note beams. Explanation of symbols: z = rest. Fill in to make a solid block. . (within the tablature) = endpoint of the note sounding on that string. Fret numbers without stems represent grace notes. *** Download and edit out all material above and below the tablature. *** See my printing tips in the page, "General comments on the tablature." *** Print out starting with the title line below.
