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):
None.
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.
Modern guitar version:
M6,8. Sanz uses the campanelas (cross-string) effect here. Obtaining
a similar effect on the modern guitar requires big changes to the original
fingerings.
Leading measures in Sanz's original tablature:
1 14. Last measure is 15.
