~1822) - Boije 285 Berben 2298, revised by Mario Gangi & Carlo Carfagna (Ancona, 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 72 bpm (beats per minute - quarter notes). In the Berben edition only the last chord of measure 35 and the 1st chord of measure 36 are accented. measure 7 - in the Artaria and Chanterelle editions the last note is played staccato (detached, cut off, not held for its full value) measure 19 - in the Artaria and Chanterelle editions the 1st note on the 3rd beat is played staccato measure 26 - in the Artaria and Chanterelle editions the 3rd and 4th notes of the 3rd and 4th beats are played staccato measure 35 - the Berben edition does not have 'loco' under the last chord measures 29-31 - in the Arteria and Chanterelle editions the 2nd note of each beat is F (4th string 3rd fret) (not C) left hand fingering below tab right hand fingering above tab 1 - index finger (forefinger) p - thumb 2 - middle finger i - index finger (forefinger) 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 |-3-| - triplet - 3 notes played in the time of 2 notes C1 - barre on the 1st fret c2 - part barre on the 2nd fret C3 - barre on the 3rd fret dolce - sweetly f - forte - loud ff - fortissimo - very loud F. - (measure 43) Fermata - pause (before starting the next Caprice) g - grace note, ornament - extra note(s) played before the main note - the next note is usually played as a hammer-on, pull-off or slide loco - (play the notes as written) (possibly meaning that the chord should not be held for longer than its value?) p - piano - soft rall. - rallentando - slowing down tempo - speed (a tempo - return to the earlier tempo, eg after rall.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
