Prelude No. 2, Francisco Tarrega (Prelude for guitar No. 2 in A major) This version (22 August 2004) by Ralf Flicker rflicker@mac.com, http://homepage.mac.com/rflicker/ This is a very Spanish piece. Although the notes appear equidistant, this piece must not be played mathematically (this isn't Bach!). Apply generous amounts of romantic-style emotionalism and tempo alterations throughout. The left-hand fingering is just a suggestion (it's how I play it). //============================================= Standard tuning: E-A-D-g-b-e Time signature: 3/4 Tempo: 110 nominal (90-130) V----\ position & duration of LH clamp (Roman num.) 2--/6 LH slide from 2 to 6 11p9 LH pull-off from 11 to 9 V-------------------------------\ III-\ e|8-------------------------------5-------3-------| b|----5-------5-------5-------6-------6-------3---| g|----5-------5-------5-------5-------5-------4---| D|--------7---------------------------------------| A|0---------------7-------8-----------------------| E|----------------------------------------3-------| 4 1 3 1 4 1 4 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 II----------\ e|0-----------------------------------------------| b|----1-------1-------1-----------4-------3-------| g|----0-------0-------2-------2-------2-------1---| D|----------------------------4-------4-------2---| A|3---------------0-------2-----------------------| E|--------0-------------------------------0-------| 3 1 1 2 1 1 4 1 4 1 3 3 3 2 II----------------------\ IV------> e|------------------------------------------------| b|2-----------2-------2-----------7---------------| g|----2-------2-------2-------5-------5---5-------| D|----2---4-------2-----------7-------7-------4---| A|0-----------------------6-------------------6---| E|----------------------------------------4-------| 1 1 3 1 1 1 2 1 4 1 2 1 1 1 1 3 3 1 3 ----IV------\ IV--------------\ e|4-----------------------------------------------| b|--------------------0-------0-------6-------6---| g|----4-------4-------1-------1-------4-------4---| D|----6-------6-----------------2/6---------------| A|4---------------------------------------4-------| E|--------4-------2-------0-----------------------| 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 4 1 4 1 3 3 1 1 VI---------------------/VIII--------------------\ e|9-------------------------------8-------11p9----| b|----7-------7-------7-------10------10------10--| g|----6-------6-------6-------8-------8-------8---| D|--------8---------------------------------------| A|----------------6------/8-----------------------| E|6-----------------------------------------------| 4 2 3 2 1 2 1 3 1 3 4p2 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 VI----------------------V--------------------\ e|6-------------------------------6-------5-------| b|----6-------6-------6-------5-------5-----------| g|----6-------6-------6-------6-------6-------6---| D|--------8-------6-------5-----------------------| A|------------------------------------------------| E|6-----------------------------------------------| 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 3 3 IV----------\ e|----------------------------4-------------------| b|----9-------9-------9-------4-------4-------5---| g|6/9---------9-------9-------4-------4-------7---| D|------------------------6-------------------6---| A|----------------7---------------------------7---| E|--------9-----------------------7-------0-------| 3 4 2 4 1 4 3 1 4 1 1 3 3 1 1 4 1 2 3 V----------------------/VIII--------------------> e|----------------------------------------8-------| b|5-----------------------------------------------| g|----6-------6-------6-----------8-----------9---| D|----5-------5-------5-------8-------8-------8---| A|----------------------------10------10----------| E|5-------7-------5------/8---------------8-------| 1 2 4 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 3 3 1 1 VIII-\ V---------------\ e|8---------------------------------------5-------| b|--------6-----------------------5---------------| g|----10------5-------5-------6-------6-------6---| D|----10------7-------7-------7-------7-------7---| A|8-------0-------6-------7-----------------------| E|------------------------------------------------| 1 4 2 1 2 1 3 2 1 2 1 2 1 3 3 3 4 4 7 e|------------------------------------------------| b|7---------------7-------9---------------9-------| g|----8-------8-------8-------7-------7-------7---| D|----9-------9-------9-------9-------9-------9---| A|--------7-----------------------7---------------| E|0---------------7-------0---------------0-------| 2 3 1 3 2 3 4 1 2 1 4 1 4 4 1 4 3 3 3 II--------------\ V-------------------\ e|5----------------------------------------------|| b|----2-------2-------2--------------------------|| g|----2-------2-------2-------5-------5-------5--|| D|--------4-------------------7-------7-------7--|| A|0---------------0---------------8-------7------|| E|----------------------0/5----------------------|| 4 1 3 1 1 1 1 4 1 4 1 1 1 1 3 3 3 Play the whole thing twice.
