Short ID: FG36. Title: Gallardas. 13 diferencias. Composer: Francisco Guerau. Source: Poema Harmonico. Folio 49. Date: 1694. Facsimile: Tecla, p71. 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. M55 r3s3, r8-10s4. M56 r3s1, r8-10s3. M57 r3s1-r5s2, r8-10s2. M58 r3s1-r6s1, r8s2-m59r1s2. M59 r3-6s4, r8s3-m60r1s3. M60 r3-6s4. M62 r1-5s1, r6s1. M63 r1-5s2, r6-10s3. M64 r1s1, r6s4. M65 r1-5s2, r6s4-r10s4. M66 r1-5s3, r6-10s1. M79 r3s2, r5s3, r8s1. M80 r3-4s1, r8-9s4. M81 r3-4s1, r8s1. M82 r3-6s1, r8s1-m83r1s2. M83 r3s3-r6s4, r8-10s2. M84 r3s1, r8s1. 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. Octave doublings: To connect a musical line on the modern guitar, or fill out the texture, consider adding the octave above the bass. For example, see: m12r5, m26r8-m27r1, m84r6, m85r1. Leading measures in Guerau's original tablature: 1 12 21 31 39 46 55 63 73 82. Last measure is 85. Note: Guerau indicated the rhythm change at m38 with a large "12/8" along with the word "sexqa.", short for "sexquialtera". In proper modern notation, we would indicate triplets rather than a time signature change. *** 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.
