Notes & Legend ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "This Prelude in E major was composed in 1895, which was ten years after the death of his father and was published by Tarrega in 1903. The dedicatee, Miguel Armengot, was a doctor and an old friend of Tarrega with whom he shared the same apartment during their study years in Madrid." - Michel Beauchamp The tempo of the MIDI is 192 bpm (beats per minute - eighth notes) All the notes are played staccato (detached, cut off, not held for their full value) except for the upper two notes of the chords in measures 4,14,15,31,36, and from the second note in measure 40 until the end of the piece. measures 5,37 - the sheet has a grace note at the end (B, 1st string 7th fret) but it's not played in the reference videos Left Hand Fingering (LHF) below the tab - 1 - index finger (forefinger) 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger (pinkie) === - note held, length of note, duration > - accented, marked, stressed < < < - crescendo - becoming gradually louder > > > - decrescendo - becoming gradually quieter C1 - barre on the 1st fret cresc. - crescendo - growing louder decresc. - decrescendo - growing quieter f - forte - loud, strong F. - Fermata - pause, notes held for longer than their value g - grace note (ornament) - extra note(s) played immediately before the main note, then quickly released - the following note is usually played as a hammer-on, pull-off, or slide - on the guitar it is usually easier to play grace notes on the beat rather than before it p - piano - soft, quietly poco - little, a little (poco a poco - little by little) ritard. - ritardando - slowing down, gradually slower ten. - tenuto - note(s?) played firmly (but still played staccato!) tempo - speed (a tempo - return to the earlier tempo) 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
