Lines: 463 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: cth.cth.u-psud.fr X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tabulated from the (much easier to play) piano score by David Atkinson In October 1994. V2.0 (11/94) I have inlcuded left hand fingering underneath the tab. I think the System I used is self-explanitary. The numbers 1 to 4 indicate the Fingers (1=index,2=middle,3=ring,4=little(pinkie)). I have left out Fingering where a section is repeated or on parts where fingering is Blatantly obvious. If anyone needs an explanation, feel free to email Me. I transposed this to the key of A minor which seemed logical to me at the Time but I have recently been informed that Tarrega used D minor. Tough! I experimented with the B string tuned to Bb but, although some Parts were easier, most was better with normal tuning. Anyone have any Other suggestions? I might just try a D minor version if I find the time and motivation. Watch this space! Please email comments, corrections, suggestions and the rest to David (kaum0@central.sussex.ac.uk). P = pull-off, h = hammer-on, s = slide ===== = sustain. However, to save me hassle, sustain all the bass notes For a whole bar where possible. The roman numerals above the tab indicate either full barres or half Barres. The ...s indicate how long the barre lasts.
