~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are errors in the Simrock and Meissonnier editions which are corrected in the Stich und Druck edition. Early editions don't have any left hand fingering. The tab fingering is mostly from an unknown French edition. Check the reference videos for alternative fingering. (Repeated sections are sometimes left out.) The MIDI does not repeat any of the sections. measure 0 - it is tempting to play a dotted 1/8th note followed by a 1/16th note (as at the end of measures 1-9) - * 0 | . | . | . e|-----------------0-----0-| B|-------------------------| G|-----------------5=======| D|-----------------7=======| A|-------------------------| E|-------------------------| measure 54 - in all the sheet editions the 5th note is G (not G#) measures 69,79 - check the reference videos for alternative fingering measure 73 - in the Stich und Druck edition the notes of the interval on the 2nd beat are dotted eighth notes followed by sixteenth notes - * * 73 | . | . | . | . | . e|---------7----------------|------------------| B|-10======------10-9=====9-|-10======---------| G|-11--9---8========9---7===|-6=======--------*| D|--------------------------|-----------------*| A|-9=======---------7=======|-0=======---------| E|---------7========--------|------------------| left hand fingering (LHF) below the tab - 1 - index finger (forefinger) 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger (annular) 4 - little finger (pinky) === - note held, length of note, duration |-3-| - triplet - 3 notes played in the time of 2 notes |-9-| - nonuplet - 9 notes played in the time of 8 notes g - grace note (ornament) - an extra note played on or just before the beat before the main note is played, and then immediately released - usually played as a hammer-on, a pull-off, or a slide h - hammer-on p - (between the notes) pull-off 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] |---- ----| 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
