E|---------------------------------|| Notes and Legend ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "La sonnambula (The Sleepwalker) is an opera semiseria in two acts, with music in the bel canto tradition by Vincenzo Bellini set to an Italian libretto by Felice Romani, based on a scenario for a ballet-pantomime written by Eugene Scribe and choreographed by Jean-Pierre Aumer called La somnambule, ou L'arrivee d'un nouveau seigneur. ...The first performance took place at the Teatro Carcano in Milan on 6 March 1831." (Wikipedia) Emilia Giuliani-Guglielmi's Op 3 was first published by Gio. Ricordi in 1836. The DGA edition gives little information about the left hand fingering, so feel free to experiment where the fingering isn't given. There are many leaps up and down the fretboard in the tab, but similar leaps are found in the sheet music of other compositions by Emilia Giuliani-Guglielmi, which as a virtuoso performer she probably enjoyed playing in her concerts. The tempo of the MIDI is 76 bpm (beats per minute - quarter notes) - perhaps it should be faster? or slower? measure 1 - in the sheet the bottom note of the 1st chord is a quarter note - similarly measures 2,4-6,13,14,23 measures 9,10 - perhaps the 2nd part of the triplet (and maybe also the turns) could be played on higher frets? - ~ ~ ~ 9 | . |--3--| | . |--3--| | . |--3--| | . | . |-0-----0-12-------1---0-1-13-------|---------12-----------------------| |-----4-----------------------------|-0-----0------------------1---0---| |---------9-----9----------10----10-|-----3---9-----9------------------| |---------------10---------------12-|---------------9------------------| |-0=======------12-0=======------12-|---------------11-----------------| |-----------------------------------|-0=======---------0=======--------| measures 9,10,18,19 - the turns - these are ornaments, and are not essential - here the turns are simplified by making the last two notes of each turn the same as the two notes following the turn - in the MIDI the 1st 3 notes of the turn are 64th notes - 9 | , . | , . 10 | , . |-1-0---0----------- -3-1-0-1--------0- |------------------- |-----4-----------4- ------------------ |-1-0---0----------- |------------------- ------------------ |-----3-----------3- |------------------- ------------------ |------------------- |-0================= -0================ |------------------- |------------------- ------------------ |-0================= 18 . . 19 . . --10-8-7-8- -7-5-4-5- -5-3-2-3- -5-3-2-3- ----------- --------- --------- --------- ----------- --------- --------- --------- ----------- --------- --------- --------- ----------- --------- --------- --------- ----------- --------- --------- --------- measure 16 - in the sheet the bottom notes of the chords on the 1st & 3rd beats are quarter notes (not eighth notes) left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - note held, length of note, duration / - slide the note up |-3-| - triplet - 3 notes played in the time of 2 notes - though here they are formed of a quarter note and an eighth note (= 3 eighth notes) C3 - barre on the 3rd fret c8 - part barre on the 8th fret h - hammer-on F. - Fermata - note(s) held, pause p - (below the tab) piano - soft p - (between the notes) pull-off sf - sforzando - suddenly louder, stressed ~ - turn - ornament - play the scale note above, the main note, the note below (usually a semitone below), and finally the main note again repeat the section 1____ play the 1st time 2_______ play on repeat |--- ---| |-----------------------| ---|-----------------------| |--- ---| |-----------------------| ---|-----------------------| |*-- --*| |----------------------*| --*|-----------------------| |*-- --*| |----------------------*| --*|-----------------------| |--- ---| |-----------------------| ---|-----------------------| |--- ---| |-----------------------| ---|-----------------------| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
