corrections (23 January 2022) - measure 53 - the last 4 lower notes changed to D# (from F##) measure 69 - 5th note changed to F# (6th string 2nd fret) from B This collection of studies is intended for the intermediate guitarist. The final five etudes were composed as, and intended to be performed as a set, with each piece showing a facet of Latin American music and being dedicated to a specific composer. The Habanera is a Cuban dance in slow duple time (2 main beats to the measure). The sheet does not give any left hand fingering. measure 72 - in the sheet there is a natural sign before the F in the first chord which should probably be before the G (as in the tab) === - note held, length of note, duration > - (above the tab) accented, marked, stressed |-3-| - triplet - 3 notes played in the time of 2 notes < < < - (below the tab) crescendo - becoming gradually louder > > > - (below the tab) decrescendo - becoming gradually slower accel. - accelerando - accelerating, gradually getting faster, increasing speed arp. - arpeggiate - ripple upwards from the lowest note to the highest note dim. - diminuendo - diminishing, becoming gradually softer f - forte - loud, strong ff - fortissimo - very loud F. - Fermata - pause, note(s) held for longer than their value g - grace note (ornament) - extra note(s) played immediately before the main note(s) - in this study all the grace notes are appogiaturas (passing notes) and they are held (tied) rather then released L.V. - laissez vibrer (let vibrate) - let it ring, don't dampen the sound mf - mezzoforte - moderately loud molto - much, very (cres. molto - becoming much louder) p - (below the tab) piano - soft, quietly p - (between the notes) pull-off poco - little, a little (poco rall. - a little slower) pp - pianissimo - very quiet primo - first (primo tempo - original tempo) rall. - rallentando - slowing down rit. - ritenuto - slowing down, suddenly slower s - staccato - detached, cut off, the note is not held for its full value sempre - always, still, continuing sub. - subito - suddenly (mf sub. - suddenly louder) tam. - tambour / tambora - the strings are played all at once by hitting them near the bridge with a flat part of the hand (usually with the side of the outstretched thumb) tempo - speed (a tempo - return to the earlier tempo, after the rall.) x - tambour / tambora (see above) <5> - natural (open) double octave harmonic on the 5th fret <7> - natural (open) harmonic on the 7th fret <9> - natural (open) harmonic on the 9th fret <12> - natural (open) octave harmonic on the 12th fret ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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
