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 the strummed chords, add as many open strings as sound good.
For this piece, I did not think it necessary to make any changes for
playing directly on the MODERN GUITAR.
This is the second of 3 pieces on this page. The text across the top of
the page reads, "Pavanas por la D, con Partidas al Aire Español, Una
Jiga Inglesa y Bailete Frances."
Fixes to the original (m=Measure; p=Place in measure; s=String):
M16 (last measure) original rhythm showed breve (= 8 4ers). Changed here
to a double-length measure: 4 groups of 4er 8th.
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.
Leading measures in Sanz's original tablature:
1. Last measure is 16. (All on one line.)
