SUITE IN A MINOR - Francisco Corbetta (1615 - 1681) Arranged and tabbed by Gavin Emery ([email protected]) Francisco Corbetta was the most renowned guitarist of his era - Gaspar Sanz described him as "the best of all". He was born in Italy and died in France, and between 1639 and 1674 he published at least 6 books for guitar (one now lost). He travelled all over Europe, taught and performed for the royalty of several countries, and was probably the first ever "guitar hero". The following ornaments are included, and you can use or omit them as you like: X = trill (from upper note, included in brackets above.) ) = appogiatura (slur to note from note below.) , = mordent (slur from note to the one below and back.) == = slur (hammer on or pull off.) trills: (3) ____ _______ | |- |. | |-|-|-| -----1x--- --3--1----- ----4x--- --5=4=5=4-- -----1---- --1-------- ----5---- --5-------- -----2---- = --2-------- ----4---- = --4-------- ---------- ----------- --------- ----------- ---------- ----------- --------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ----0---- --0-------- appogiaturas: ___ ___ | | | | | | -----1)--- ---0=1----- ----5)--- ---3=5----- -----3---- ---3------- ----3---- ---3------- -----2---- = ---2------- ----5---- = ---5------- -----0---- ---0------- ----4---- ---4------- ---------- ----------- --------- ----------- ---------- ----------- --------- ----------- Mordent: _____ _____ | |-| | | |-| | ---------- ----------- ---5,---- --5=4=5---- -----1,--- --1=0=1---- --------- ----------- ---------- = ----------- --------- = ----------- ---------- ----------- --------- ----------- -----3---- --3-------- ---0----- --0-------- ---------- ----------- --------- ----------- Enjoy! ******************************************************************************** Francisco Corbetta PRELUDE This Prelude is the first of five pieces from a suite in A minor by Corbetta, originally for the five stringed Baroque Guitar.
