1980?) Chantarelle 440, editor Simon Wynberg (Heidelberg, 1986) "Op.20 - 36 Caprices. This tends to be all that most people know of Legnani. That said, these caprices are musically rich and present a study in virtuosity - they are perhaps the best advanced etudes written for the guitar, especially for interpretation. Each piece is short, 1 page." (Guitar Composers of the Classical and Early Romantic Period Circa 1780-1900 - Len Verrett) https://www.earlyromanticguitar.com/erg/composers.htm The left hand fingering is taken mainly from the Berben edition. The tempo of the MIDI is 138 bpm (beats per minute - quarter notes), somewhat slower than the Lucio Matarazzo reference audio which is 160 bpm! Order of play: measures 1-16, 1-16, 16-24, 16-24, 24-71 measures 0,1,24,25 - suggested ways of playing a note on the 22nd fret - - use a harmonic (octave harmonic, 1st string, 10th fret) - use a 22 fret guitar (this is what it was written for) - play the note above the soundhole as if there were a 22nd fret (the note will sound but it will be muted) - play the passage an octave lower (Berben edition) - a m i . | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | |-10-10|-10--5-5-5---2-2-|-2=======---------|-----------------|----------- |------|-----------------|-------------10-10|-10--7-7-7---3-3-|-3=======-- |------|-----------------|------------------|-----------------|----------- |------|-----------------|------------------|-----------------|----------- |------|-----------------|------------------|-----------------|----------- |------|-----------------|------------------|-----------------|----------- 4 1 1 4 1 1 measure 24 - in the Berben edition the chord on the 1st beat is A-A-C#-A - c2 24 | . | |-5=======-----| |-2=======-----| |-2=======----*| |-------------*| |-0=======-----| |--------------| measure 36,37,40,41 - in the Berben edition there is a barre on the 4th fret - 36 C4____________________ 40 . | . | . -------|-----------------| -------|-4---4---4---4---| -----4-|-----4---4---4---| ---4---|-----------------| -------|-----------------| -------|-----8---7---5---| 4 3 2 measure 71 - the Berben edition has the normal major chord (not the inversion) - c7 F. 70 | . | . | . | |---------10------|-------------|| |-3-------7-------|-3=======----|| |---------7-------|-2=======----|| |-4-------0-------|-4=======----|| |-5---------------|-5=======----|| |-----------------|-------------|| 4 2 1 3 4 left hand fingering below tab right hand fingering above tab 1 - index finger p - thumb 2 - middle finger i - index finger 3 - ring finger m - middle finger 4 - little finger (pinky) a - ring finger === - notes held, length of note, duration > - (above the tab) accented, marked, stressed F. - (measure 71) Fermata - pause (before starting the next Caprice) f - forte - loud p - (below the tab) piano - soft c1 - part barre on the 1st fret C1 - barre on the 1st fret c2 - part barre on the 2nd fret C2 - barre on the 2nd fret etc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
