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):
M9 original showed no rhythm symbols. Assumed to be 4er 4er here.
M12p1 trill symbol "T" in original was equidistant from 2nd and 3rd string
fret numbers. Trill applied to 2nd string here.
It seems (to me) that this piece comprises 3 separate 25-measure
Españoletas. There is a full double bar line after measure 25 and another
one after measure 50 which is more ornate, decorated with cross-hatching.
The double bars separating 8-measure phrases within each 25-measure
Españoleta are short in Sanz's original tablature. They cover only the
middle 3 strings of Sanz's 5-string tablature staff. Notice that at these
spots the beats do not add up.
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 measure in Sanz's original tablature:
1 26 44 61. Last measure is 75.
