FOR BAROQUE GUITAR: This tablature is faithful to Sanz's original for the
Baroque guitar. It has been flipped "right-side up." Continual rhythm
information is shown. If you have a modern guitar, consider adding or
substituting the octave above any note played on the 4th or 5th string.
In strummed chords, add as many open strings as sound good. Or, try
the ready-to-go version for MODERN GUITAR.
Fixes to the original (m=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M4p2s1. Original tablature showed mordent and trill on the same note. I
went with the trill here.
M37-38. Original tablature showed no bar line separating these measures.
Gaspar had run out of space! He also showed no rhythm symbol for the final
chord.
Explanation of symbols:
" = trill, generally starting on upper neighbor.
# = vibrato.
, = mordent, main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note.
^ = up strum (toward treble).
v = down strum (toward bass).
z = rest symbol.
~~~~~~ = slur the notes above the wavy line.
Leading measures in Sanz's original tablature:
1 16 26. Last measure is 38.
