Title: Passacalles de 5o. tono. Compassillo. 15 diferencias.
Composer: Francisco Guerau.
Source: Poema Harmonico.
Folio 13.
Date: 1694.
Facsimile: Tecla, p35.
Tuning: Baroque guitar (A D G B E).
Time sig: C.
Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string): none.
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.
M45 r6s1-r13s4.
M46 r6s3-r13s3.
M47 r6s2-r13s5.
M48 r5s1-r14s4.
Arrowheads ^ indicate strums. See m49-m52. It's worth re-drawing the ^
arrowhead right at the top of the associated stem.
Take a moment to fill out the 16th-note beams.
Explanation of symbols:
" = trill, generally starting on upper neighbor. On 8th and dotted 8th
notes, consider a shorter, 3-note figure - main note to upper neighbor
and back to the main note.
, = mordent, main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note.
Suggested simplification (if need be):
_____________
|________"0_|
|_"5________|
|__5_ to ___|
|___________|
|__3______3_|
|___________| or, play lower grace note instead of trill.
Leading measures in Guerau's original tablature:
