(Wikipedia) Emilia Giuliani-Guglielmi's Op 3 was first published by Gio. Ricordi in 1836. The DGA edition gives some information about the left hand fingering, but feel free to experiment where the fingering isn't given - for example the first chord in measure 9 could be played with a barre on the 5th fret. The tempo of the MIDI is 40 bpm (quarter notes) - perhaps it should be faster? or slower? measures 3,7 - the sheet doesn't give the left hand fingering for the 5th chord - perhaps it can be played using the open 1st and 2nd strings? left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - note held, length of note, duration bpm - beats per minute h - hammer-on p - (below the tab) piano - soft sf - sforzando - suddenly louder, stressed c1 - part barre on the 1st fret c2 - part barre on the 2nd fret etc Piu sostenuto - played more in a singing style, with notes not being cut short |--- ---| repeat the section |--- ---| |*-- --*| |*-- --*| |--- ---| |--- ---| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the latest version of this tab can be found at http://www.classtab.org if you come across any mistakes please let me know - weed@wussu.com
