Sonate Pathetique by Ludwig van Beethoven
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part 2/3 - Adagio cantabile/ transposed and tabulated by David Atkinson,
October 1994. Dedicated to Debbie Fothergill, Bournemouth, UK.
Well here it is... I've always wanted to play this on the guitar.
It is a familiar piano piece that, I think, has the right style to
be a good guitar transposition. I was forced to transpose the whole
piece up one semitone due to various factors such as 'not enough
bloody notes on the fingerboard', 'physical impossibilities with the
I feel I ought to tell you that this has taken one and a half full
days from my life. It wasn't just a question of copying from a book
but it required translating traditional piano score to feasible
guitar positions whilst simultaneaously taking the semitone disparity
into consideration. No mean feat I might add, especially considering
that after 3 years guitar playing I still don't know the notes on
the upper fingerboard. :-(
I have tried to make it as akin to the original as possible
but nevertheless I was forced to make certain ommisions which I have
attempted to disguise the best I could. Email me if you think a part
sounds dodgy and I'll look into it.
Lastly, does anyone have a guitar version to 'Moonlight Sonata'???
If so, post it!!
