Suite in Dm - 3. Courante (Courente) - Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687-1750) WeissSW 34.3, Sm 235, Klima 59, Dresden D-DI2841 Notes & Legend below the tab - tabbed by Weed - weed@wussu.com - 12 June 2016 MIDI: http://www.classtab.org/weiss_sl_sw034_3_suite_in_dm_3_courante.mid video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGAaxl_t380 - FC Catalan (from 5m 21s) ******************************************************************************** "The autograph of Sonata 34 in D minor, from the Dresden Manuscript and one of Weiss's most popular works with modern players of guitar or lute since it was first published by the pioneering lutenist Hans Neeman just before World War II, is also associated with teaching. Although it was entirely washed out by water from fire-hoses during the bombardment of Dresden in 1945, Neeman could read a note written on the manuscript: "This is the first I studied with Mr Weiss". While it is indeed a suitable work for a relative beginner, with quite short movements and few technical challenges, it is a fine work, well repaying any modern player's study... the Courante... if one could imagine it played on a solo cello, is really quite close to the style of J.S. Bach." - Tim Crawford ******************************************************************************** Transcribed & arranged by Karl Scheit - Universal Edition, Vienna 14426 (1974) tuning: DADGBE key: Dm time: 3/4 CIII______ i m i m i m i m a i p p 0 . | . | . | . | . | . | . | .
