Burlet, Gregory. "Automatic guitar tablature transcription online." Thesis, McGill University, 2013. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=117224.
Full textAbstract:
Manually transcribing guitar tablature from an audio recording is a difficult and time-consuming process, even for experienced guitarists. While several algorithms have been developed to automatically extract the notes occurring in an audio recording, and several algorithms have been developed to produce guitar tablature arrangements of notes occurring in a music score, no frameworks have been developed to facilitate the combination of these algorithms. This work presents a web-based guitar tablature transcription framework capable of generating guitar tablature arrangements directly from an audio recording. The implemented transcription framework, entitled Robotaba, facilitates the creation of web applications in which polyphonic transcription and guitar tablature arrangement algorithms can be embedded. Such a web application is implemented, resulting in a unified system that is capable of transcribing guitar tablature from a digital audio recording and displaying the resulting tablature in the web browser. The performance of the implemented polyphonic transcription and guitar tablature arrangement algorithms are evaluated using several metrics on a new dataset of manual transcriptions gathered from tablature websites.Transcrire à la main une tablature pour guitare à partir d'un enregistrement audio est un processus difficile et long, même pour les guitaristes chevronnés. Bien que plusieurs algorithmes aient été créés pour extraire automatiquement les notes d'un enregistrement audio, et d'autres pour préparer des arrangements de notes de tablature pour guitare tels qu'on les retrouve dans la création musicale, aucun environnement n'a été mise en place pour faciliter l'association de ces algorithmes. Le travail qui suit présente un environnement accessible sur l'Internet, permettant la transcription et la préparation d'arrangements de tablatures de guitare, directement à partir d'un enregistrement audio. Cet environnement de transcription, nommée Robotaba, facilite la création d'applications Web, dans lesquelles la transcription polyphonique et les algorithmes d'arrangements de tablature pour guitare peuvent être intégrés. Une telle application Web permet d'obtenir un système unifié, capable de transcrire une tablature pour guitare à partir d'un enregistrement audio numérique, et d'afficher la tablature obtenue dans un navigateur Web. La performance de la transcription polyphonique mise en place et des algorithmes d'arrangements de tablature pour guitare est évaluée à l'aide de plusieurs paramètres et d'un nouvel ensemble de données, constitué de transcriptions manuelles recueillies dans des sites Web consacrés aux tablatures.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the limited repertoire for the guitar from the Baroque period, classical guitarists who wish to perform music from this era have to work primarily with transcriptions. Guitarists draw from various sources from this period such as vocal and instrumental music for the five-course guitar, lute and the harpsichord. Of these sources, the repertoire for the harpsichord is perhaps the most frequently arranged for various guitar formations because its textures are greatly similar to those of the guitar repertoire. As a result, harpsichord music tends to transfer well to the guitar. Baroque harpsichord composers such as Domenico Scarlatti, Johann Sebastian Bach, François Couperin, and Jean-Philippe Rameau-to name a few-have a permanent home in the classical guitar canon and represent the musical tastes and styles of Italy, Germany, and France. These composers exemplify the various stylistic differences between the above-mentioned countries; yet, the harpsichord music of Spain is largely underrepresented in guitar collections. One of the most noteworthy Spanish harpsichordists was Padre Antonio Soler (1729-1783), who composed 120 sonatas for the instrument. When considering the ease with which some of his works transfer to the guitar, and specifically guitar duo, much can be gained by expanding the repertoire and exploring the Spanish Baroque style. The purpose of this study is three-fold: first, to present transcriptions of Antonio Soler's Sonata No. 85 and Fandango for guitar duo; second, to provide analysis of Sonata No. 85 with an emphasis on the intervallic features of the motives; third, to give an overview of the transcription process of Fandango for guitar duo while including a study of Spanish Baroque guitar and the appropriate stylistic effects drawn from its repertoire that can be incorporated in the arrangement.

Full textAbstract:
There is a puacity of original works from the Baroque Era for the guitar. Transcriptions, especially music originally for harpsichord, complement the guitarist's repertoire. Dominating the priviledged space in the guitar canon, represented by Baroque transcriptions, are the composers Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel and Domenico Scarlatti. Underrepresented in the Baroque guitar canon is the music of Spanish composers, most noteworthy, the harpsichordist Padre Antonio Soler, who composed more than 120 sonatas for his instrument. Music is culturally defined and it is clear, through an analysis of the keyboard works of Soler, that his music was imbued with the salient features of his place and time. There is an implicit connection between the guitar and the non-guitar music produced in Spain as guitar gestures are part of the national emblem; this study makes an explicit connection between the harpsichord music of Soler and the modern guitar. The Spanish Baroque style, epitomized by the works of Soler, provide a clear objective for transcription. The current study produces a transcription of Padre Antonio Soler's Sonata No. R.27 and Sonata No. R.100, as well as an analysis of the sonatas to facilitate interpretation for performance and an explanation of the transcription process. The lacunae of Spanish Baroque guitar transcriptions that exists in the repertoire will be partially filled by adding Soler to the distinguished list of composers that currently inhabit the guitarists's library.

Hartquist, John E. "Real-time Musical Analysis of Polyphonic Guitar Audio." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2012. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/808.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, we analyze the audio signal of a guitar to extract musical data in real-time. Specifically, the pitch and octave of notes and chords are displayed over time. Previous work has shown that non-negative matrix factorization is an effective method for classifying the pitches of simultaneous notes. We explore the effect of window size, hop length, and other parameters to maximize the resolution and accuracy of the output.Other groups have required prerecorded note samples to build a library of note templates to search for. We automate this step and compute the library at run-time, tuning it specifically for the input guitar. The program we present generates a musical visualization of the results in addition to suggestions for fingerings of chords in the form of a fretboard display and tablature notation. This program is built as an applet and is accessible from the web browser.

Full textAbstract:
"Guidelines for Transcribing Baroque Lute Music for the Modern Guitar, Using Silvius Leopold Weiss's Sonata 36 (from the Dresden Manuscript) as a Model" analyzes the process of creating guitar transcriptions of Weiss's music. The methodology unfolds through three steps: 1) rendering the tablature into modern guitar notation, 2) analyses of stylistic issues for the definition of fingerings on the guitar, and 3) two categories of ornamental practices—essential embellishments and diminutions. In addition, the study includes a discussion about an alternative tuning and presents a suggested prelude for Sonata 36 from the Dresden manuscript. The purpose of this research is twofold: first, to create a new guitar transcription of a sonata by Weiss, analyzing the challenges inherent in this process, and second, to train intermediate and advanced guitar students to develop their own original transcriptions following the model presented in this study.

"Bach Transcription for Marimba: Creating an Authentic Performance Edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonata no. 1 for Violin Solo, BWV 1001, and Sonata no. 2: Grave, BWV 1003, Using Guitar and Lute Transcriptions as Models." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/194020.
Full textAbstract:
Musicians have transcribed and adapted Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo, BWV 1001-1006, since Bach penned the works around the year 1720. Bach, himself, transcribed much of the material, adapting it for organ, harpsichord, lute, or even for his sinfonias and cantatas. It was also common for performers of the time to personalize these pieces with ornamentation, improvisation, dynamics, rhythmic interpretation, and in some cases, changes in pitch material.It is in this spirit that the author introduces marimba performance editions of Bach's Sonata no. 1 for Violin Solo, BWV 1001, and Sonata no. 2: Grave, BWV 1003, based on performances and transcriptions by guitarists and lutanists. The guitar and lute were selected as models due to their similarities to the marimba as well as the abundant resources that guitarists and lutanists have provided regarding Bach's unaccompanied string music. Their transcriptions and performances frequently include adaptations to fit their instruments' polyphonic abilities and sound characteristics. A similar approach is likewise suitable for the marimba. Thus, the present study includes an overview of Baroque performance practice as it relates to plucked-string instruments, analysis of published lute and guitar transcriptions of Bach's unaccompanied string music, and transcriptions and analysis of lute and guitar audio recordings. The plucked-string artists and scholars' approach is then assimilated into an authentic marimba performance edition of these works.

Full textAbstract:
Continuing the common practice of composers of the Baroque period to transcribe their own or other composers' works for a different instrument, this dissertation contributes to studies of J. S. Bach's repertory as the source of program material for the classical guitar. It is from differences revealed through a comparative analysis of Bach's Violin Sonata No. 2 (BWV 1003) and his harpsichord arrangement thereof – Sonata in D minor (BWV 964) – that principles of transcription are derived and organized according to descriptive categories. Emulating the composer-transcriber with knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of the instruments involved, the arrangement procedures are applied to the classical guitar. In so doing, this study addresses the emerging challenges and complexities in creating an idiomatic arrangement.

Full textAbstract:
The seventeenth century in England produced a large and historically significant body of music for the viola da gamba played "lyra-way." Broadly defined, playing "lyra-way" on the viol meant playing from tablature notation in a polyphonic style. Most players of plucked strings such as lute and guitar are familiar with tablature and, as a result, have a decisive advantage when attempting to explore this music. Other factors that make lyra viol repertory potentially attractive to the modern guitarist are its chordal textures, similarities in physical properties of the instruments, and many points of connection regarding the principles of left hand technique. The purpose of this study is two-fold: 1) to illuminate the historical and cultural context of the seventeenth-century English lyra viol music in general and that of Tobias Hume (c. 1579-1645) in particular; and 2) to present an idiomatic transcription for the modern guitar of four representative pieces from Hume's 1605 collection Musicall Humours. Musicall Humours, published in London in 1605, is one of the first and most significant collections of music for the lyra viol. The collection is both ambitious and groundbreaking, being the largest repertory of solo music for the lyra viol by a single composer in the early seventeenth century. Since the modern guitar, although not as contrapuntally facile as the keyboard, is nevertheless capable of executing two- or three-voice polyphony, reconstruction of the polyphonic implications of solo lyra viol music becomes the first step in creating an idiomatic arrangement. The differences in acoustical properties and technical capabilities between the viol and the modern guitar have to be taken into consideration when deciding on the degree to which harmony must be filled in. Generally, thinner textures of the lyra viol music, when transferred directly to the guitar, tend to sound incomplete. The arranger's musical sensitivity and intimate familiarity with both instruments must guide the final stages of the transcription process.

Diss., The University of Arizona, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/624583.
Full textAbstract:
J.S. Bach (1685 – 1750) is celebrated for his exemplary musical compositions, but less known is Bach the inveterate transcriber. He not only transcribed at least nine concertos by Antonio Vivaldi (1678 – 1741), but he also arranged and adapted his own works, recasting them for other instruments. Among Bach's arrangements, are those for the lute, which were originally written for solo violin and cello. These two arrangements form a significant portion of J.S. Bach’s oeuvre for the lute, an instrument Bach would have been familiar with through his encounters with the finest lutenists of the age. Bach's lute arrangements provide valuable insight into the editorial decisions that were made when transcribing from solo strings to the lute, an instrument most similar to the guitar in sonority, structure and technique.
This study examines J.S. Bach's process of arranging for the lute by comparing three extant versions of the same work: Bach’s Suite in C Minor BWV 1011 for cello, his Suite in G Minor BWV 995 for lute and an unsigned version in lute tablature dating back to Bach's time in Leipzig (Sammlung Becker. MS. III. 11. 3, housed at the Stadtbibliothek of Leipzig). The three extant versions of the Suite in G Minor form a unique trifecta among Bach's body of works that can be compared to reveal unique features in Bach's lute arrangements. By comparing the three sources, this study will demonstrate that J.S. Bach displayed a propensity towards musical elaboration when arranging from violoncello to the lute. In particular, Bach had a tendency to elaborate the following musical elements: melody, harmony, polyphony and rhythm. This study will show that these elaborations may be applied in a new guitar arrangement of Bach’s Suite in D Major BWV 1012. Finally, this author hopes that this study may be used as a guide or starting point for other arrangers in their attempt to create a stylistically cogent guitar arrangement of Bach’s unaccompanied works for violin or cello.

A realização das transcrições teve como referencial teórico a análise de duas das mais importantes transcrições da história do violão: - Siete Canciones Populares Españolas - original de Manuel de Falla para piano e voz, transcritas para violão e voz por Miguel Llobet - Venetian Gondola Song - original de Felix Mendelssohn para piano (livro I das Canções sem palavras, op. 19), transcrita por Francisco Tárrega O livro Guidelines for Style Analysis, de Jan LARUE foi o referencial teórico para as análises musicais. Os comentários analíticos se restringem à sua relação com os processos de transcrição. A arte da transcrição está diretamente associada ao violão e seu desenvolvimento. Uma perspectiva da história da transcrição para violão a partir do final do século XIX é apresentada e discutida. Soma-se a esta discussão a figura de Franz Liszt, um dos principais transcritores (para piano) da história da música. As transcrições são analisadas a fim de se abordar a problemática que cada uma envolve. A \"fidelidade musical\" é o principal foco deste trabalho, ou seja, a realização dos elementos musicais e ideia estética da obra original em seu novo meio: o violão. Para isso é necessário realizar uma transcrição idiomática, e os processos utilizados para esta busca são também apresentados e discutidos.This dissertation presents twelve transcriptions, made by the own author, of selected works by Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy.

Adds to this discussion the figure of Franz Liszt, one of the most important transcribers (for the piano) in the history of music. The transcriptions are analysed in order to address the problem that each one involves. The \"musical fidelity\" is the main focus of this work, namely the realization of musical elements and aesthetic idea of the original work on its new instrument: the guitar. To achieve this is necessary to work on an idiomatic transcription, and the processes used on this quest are also presented and discussed.

Este trabalho se ocupa da tradução comentada para o português do Instruccion de Musica sobre la Guitarra Espanõla, de Gaspar Sanz (1697), um dos mais importantes livros de repertório e de instruções de como tocar a guitarra de cinco ordens, que ora denominamos guitarra barroca. A tradução procura contextualizar o texto de Sanz, levando ao leitor, mesmo aquele não habituado à leitura dos tratados dos séculos XVII e XVIII, subsídios que lhe permitam compreender o texto e tirar utilidade prática de seu conteúdo. Assim como o Instruccion, o trabalho aborda temas os mais diversos concernentes à guitarra barroca: música solística, para a compreensão da qual a afinação reentrante mostra-se essencial, música de acompanhamento em suas diferentes vertentes, Rasqueado, Ponteado e Obbligato, instruções de afinação, ornamentação, escolha das cordas e diferentes afinações. Abrange também, embora não como objetivo principal, uma proposta de metodologia para transcrição da tablatura original, levando em conta a afinação reentrante modificada. Os comentários sobre o vasto conteúdo do Instruccion baseiam-se na leitura da obra de Sanz, no cotejamento com outras fontes primárias e secundárias, mas também, e não menos importante, na minha experiência como instrumentista de cordas dedilhadas antigas há mais de quinze anos. Todos os exemplos e transcrições trazem o fac-símile para confronto, convidando o leitor a exercer sua curiosidade em relação às fontes primárias e fazendo disto, de fato, seu principal objetivo.This work deals with the commented translation into Portuguese of the Instruccion de Musica sobre la Guitarra Española , by Gaspar Sanz (1697), one of the most important books of repertoire and instructions on how to play the five orders guitar, we now call baroque guitar. This translation aims to contextualize Sanz\'s, text, leading the reader, even those not used to reading the treaties of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, subsidies to help understanding the text and make practical use of it\'s content. As the Instruccion, this work addresses the most diverse topics concerning the baroque guitar: solo music, where reentrant tuning shows to be essential to their understanding, accompanying music in its various aspects, rasqueado, ponteado and obbligato, ornamentation, choice of chords and different tunings. It also covers, although not as its main objective, a proposed methodology for transcription of the original tablature, taking into account the modified reentrant tuning. Comments on the vast content of the Instruccion are based on the reading of Sanz\'s work in mutual comparison with other primary and secondary sources, but also, and not least, in my experience as a player of early plucked strings over fifteen years. All examples and transcriptions bring also the facsimile, inviting the reader to exercise their curiosity about primary sources and making it in fact their main goal.

Este trabalho trata do processo de digitação para violão da Ciaccona BWV 1004 (original para violino) de Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). O objetivo foi desenvolver uma digitação de mão esquerda capaz de refletir as intenções musicais do presente autor. Para tal, foi estabelecido um modelo de análise, onde a textura musical é dividida e classificada, com base em referenciais teóricos, como: melódica, harmônica, motívica e polifônica. Ao analisar as digitações usadas em transcrições, e compará-las às desta pesquisa, concluímos que se pode ter autonomia para contestar uma digitação grafada, pois ela reflete nada mais que as decisões do seu autor, sejam musicais ou técnicas. A partir disto, podemos deduzir que elas se alteram conforme as nossas próprias decisões.This work deals with the process of elaborating guitar fingerings for J. S. Bach’s Ciaccona BWV 1004 (original for violin). The aim was to develop a left hand fingering able to reflect the musical intentions of the present author. To this end, a model of analysis was established, in which the musical texture is divided and classified, based on theoretical references, into the following categories: melodic, harmonic, motivic and polyphonic. By analyzing the fingering used on transcriptions, and comparing it with the results of this research, we conclude that we can question a suggested fingering, because it reflects nothing more than the decisions of its author, whether musical or technical. From this we can deduce that they change according to our own decisions.

Através dos resultados alcançados, da maneira como compreendemos os métodos empregados, constatamos um amplo campo de possibilidades a serem pesquisadas e novas soluções de adaptação e scordature a serem empregadas, estabelecendo a prática da transcrição como um procedimento válido artisticamente, desde que devidamente contextualizado.This work deals with the process of transcription for guitar solo of the 12 Danzas Españolas Op. 37 of Enrique Granados, written originally for piano. This process was developed through the observation of guitar versions of other original works for piano, comparisons between the specific instrumental resources of these two instruments and a historical survey, where the main problems of adaptation of the musical and aesthetic elements of the original work were analyzed in a new medium. In order to contextualize this work in the transcription panorama, we visit the history of Granados, analyzing the general aspects of its Danzas Españolas, as well as discussing the conception of the scordatura to, from there, to use the research method of different tuning possibilities in the seeking to make feasible the satisfactory assimilation of the work in question, without losing sight of, during this process, the original idea of the composer. Through the results obtained, as understood by the methods employed, we find a wide field of possibilities to be researched and new solutions of adaptation and scordature to be used, establishing the practice of transcription as an artfully valid procedure, provided that it is properly contextualized.

Esta dissertação de mestrado trata do processo de transcrição para violão solo dos movimentos Tempo di Ciaccona e Fuga, da Sonata para violino solo (1944) de Béla Bartók. O primeiro capítulo contempla análises estruturais básicas dos movimentos Tempo di Ciaccona e Fuga, assim como o histórico da Sonata para violino solo e uma breve abordagem sobre a vida e obra musical de Bartók. Também é apresentado neste capítulo um apanhado das edições e transcrições da Sonata para violino solo, além de uma coleta de dados sobre transcrições para violão de outras obras de Bartók. O processo de transcrição é abordado no segundo capítulo por meio de comparações entre os recursos instrumentais específicos do violão e do violino, levando-se em conta também outros procedimentos usados em transcrições para violão solo de obras originalmente compostas para violino ou violoncelo solo por Johann Sebastian Bach. A transcrição para piano do próprio Bartók de alguns de seus Quarenta e quatro duos para dois violinos também foi tomada como processo análogo a ser observado em nossa transcrição. No terceiro e último capítulo desta dissertação encontra-se nossa edição da transcrição para violão solo de Tempo di Ciaccona e Fuga de Béla Bartók.The present dissertation deals with the process of transcription for guitar of Tempo di Ciaccona and Fuga from the Sonata for solo violin (1944) by Béla Bartók. The first chapter introduces essential structural analysis of the movements of Tempo di Ciaccona and Fuga, as well as the historical background of the Sonata for solo violin, and a brief study of the life and musical work of Bartók. It also presents a review of the editions and transcriptions of the Sonata for solo violin, apart from a collection of data about guitar transcriptions of other works by Bartók. The transcription process is approached in the second chapter through comparisons with the violin and the guitar specific instrumental resources, taking in account also other procedures used in guitar transcriptions of works composed for cello or solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach. Bartóks own piano transcription of some of his Fourty-four Duos for two violins was also taken as an analogous process to be observed in our transcription. In the third and last chapter of this dissertation we present an edition of our transcription for solo guitar of Tempo di Ciaccona and Fuga by Bartók.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 131-135).The solo piano works of Isaac Albéniz have been extensively transcribed and performed by many guitarists. Granada, the first movement from his Suite Española for piano is a favourite amongst guitarists - sometimes even more so than amongst pianists. This dissertation offers a comparative analysis of the very first transcription of Granada by the renowned Romantic composer and guitar virtuoso Francisco Tárrega, and a more recent transcription by Stanley Yates. The aim of the study is to identify and critically evaluate various transcription techniques employed by these transcribers, in order to determine the extent to which their transcriptions of Granada are similar and different.

Full textAbstract:
The term nationalism in music usually refers to a movement from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and is most often employed to describe the various European national schools that included folk elements in their music and consciously tried to separate themselves from the standards set in the Classical period by the French, Italian and especially the German traditionalists. In Latin America there was also a development of nationalism in music in the twentieth century. Countries from this continent, once politically independent, became interested in solidifying and glorifying their national identities. This essay will discuss the history and tradition of Venezuelan folk and academic music through the guitar compositions of Antonio Lauro, who was best known for his nationalistic trend to rescue and to celebrate the Venezuelan nation's musical traditions. I have also chosen eight waltzes and the Suite Venezolana for guitar by the same composer, which are both representative works of Venezuelan academic and folklore music, and I have created a piano transcription. Aiming a new inclusion and expansion of the stagnant Venezuelan piano repertoire, with my hope they become useful compositions for the pianists' personal study and aid.

Este trabalho visa abordar conceitos estéticos, musicais e históricos (relacionados à época do Iluminismo) que envolvem as transcrições para violão \"Six Airs Choisis de l\'Opéra de Mozart: \"Il flauto magico, arrangés pour guitare\" Op. 19 do compositor e violonista espanhol Fernando Sor (1778-1839), publicadas entre os anos de 1823 a 1825, em Londres, e baseadas em árias de A flauta mágica k620 (1791) de Mozart. O processo de transcrição empreendido por Fernando Sor exigiu, inclusive por necessidades históricas (aproximadamente 35 anos separam essas obras), uma mudança de concepção da escritura instrumental, pois, para Sor, tratava-se de verter a essência de um pensamento musical concebido no meio operático e apresentá-lo sob o conceito sonoro de um instrumento solo emergente, como foi o caso do violão no final do século XVIII e primeiras décadas do século XIX. Assim, do ponto de vista instrumental, elementos como textura, estilo de acompanhamento e conceito de condução de vozes, para citar apenas alguns aspectos, sofreram mudanças de concepção, resultando muitas vezes quase em uma nova composição e, até mesmo, outra percepção da forma musical, porque, acima de tudo, o elemento dramáticoliterário está ausente.This paper aims at addressing the aesthetic, musical and historical concepts (related to the Enlightenment) that involve the guitar transcriptions \"Six Airs Choisis de l\'Opéra de Mozart: \"Il flauto magico, arrangés pour guitare\" Op. 19 by Spanish composer and guitarist Fernando Sor (1778-1839), published between the years 1823 to 1825, in London, and based in Mozart\'s Die Zauberflöte k620 (The Magic Flute). The transcription\'s process undertaken by Fernando Sor required, even for historical purposes (the compositions were created 35 years apart), a change in the concept of instrumental writing. For Sor, it was a question of translating the essence of the musical thought conceived in an operatic way and presenting it under a sonorous concept of an emerging, solo instrument as had been the case of the guitar in the late 18th century and in the first decades of the 19th century. From the instrumental perspective, therefore, elements such as texture, style of accompaniment and the voice leading concept, to name but a few, have undergone conceptual changes, often resulting almost in a new composition and even a different perception of the musical form since, above all, the elements of drama and literature are absent.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: This research project introduces the Czech composer Miloslav Gajdoš (b. 1948) to classical guitarists through his composition Prelude and Fugue in A Minor, composed in 1998. Gajdoš is a double bass virtuoso who has enjoyed a successful career performing, composing, and teaching. After the fall of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia in 1989, Gajdoš was allowed more opportunities to perform outside the Czech Republic and to become better known throughout the world. His Prelude and Fugue in A Minor, originally for solo double bass, works well on the guitar and is a rewarding piece to learn and perform. A transcription is presented here that is of publishable quality, together with a biography of Gajdoš and a performance guide. The biography was written from available research materials as well as from direct email correspondence with the composer, and includes authorized quotations from those emails. This project also includes a description of the piece together with musical and technical suggestions that will aid the performer in creating a satisfying musical interpretation. Chapter Three includes a description of the left-hand challenges that were encountered while the piece was being transcribed and the solutions that were devised to mitigate them. Finding new pieces to transcribe for the guitar has long been an important activity of serious players, and this transcription adds a substantial and expressive piece to the growing repertoire of the classical guitar.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
abstract: In 1568, Vincenzo Galilei published the first edition of Fronimo as a guide to the art of intabulating vocal music for the lute. A second edition was released in 1584 in which Galilei presents “26 Ricercari” to demonstrate the sound of each Glarean mode. These short works provide a methodical approach to experiencing the Renaissance modes through his beautiful writing for the lute.
This research project focuses on the “26 Ricercari” and explores the challenges of transcribing and arranging Renaissance lute tablatures to be played on the guitar. Topics such as making decisions for voicings, fingerings, tactus reductions, and formatting are examined. Historically-informed playing suggestions such as articulations, lute techniques, and tempo are also included.
Many lute and vihuela works, like the ricercari, have not yet been transcribed. The ricerari tablatures are idiomatic and instantly playable for guitarists who are familiar with different forms of tablature, but most classical guitarists today are familiar only with modern staff notation. Because of this, Galilei’s works have been wrongfully neglected.
My project presents the first guitar edition of these works, along with the documentation of my methodology, and serves as an aid to others for transcribing lute tablatures.Dissertation/Thesis

abstract: This project covers the transcription of Three Suites for Cello, opp. 72, 80, and 87, by Benjamin Britten, for guitar. These suites were chosen because of the influence of Bach, which is seen in the texture of the pieces, and because they can be played on guitar with very few changes. Music for unaccompanied cello has a history of being transcribed for guitar, including the Bach cello suites, and is a means for guitarists to expand the repertoire. In addition to documenting the changes made in adapting these pieces for guitar, a brief biographical sketch of the composer and descriptions of each movement are included. Also explained are articulation symbols and terminologies that are uncommon in music written for the guitar, and suggestions on how to perform the multitude of ornaments Britten has written in the score.Dissertation/Thesis

abstract: Guitar repertoire from the Baroque period consists primarily of transcriptions, which suggests that modern performers may explore more sources to identify eligible works to transcribe. The Musikalischer Parnassus, a collection of dance suites for harpsichord by Johann Kaspar Ferdinand Fischer (1656-1746), is worthy of such a transcription. This collection has high artistic value and possesses a range and texture that make much of it playable on the guitar. The purpose of this research project is to introduce Fischer and his works to the classical guitar community, and also to explore the artistic qualities of Musikalischer Parnassus that qualify it for transcription for guitar. This document addresses the transcription process of two selected suites: VI, Euterpe and VIII, Polymnia by Fischer. The outcome is an edition for guitar and a performance guide, which includes interpretations and stylistic considerations for each movement.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
abstract: In the 1950s, Miguel Llobet (1878–1938) and Emilio Pujol (1886–1980) published the first transcriptions of piano and orchestral music for two guitars that became staples in the repertoire. Ida Presti (1924–1967) and Alexandre Lagoya (1929–1999) expanded their efforts with new adaptations of Baroque, Romantic, and Modern music. Following their examples, generations of professional guitar duos have maintained a similar transcription repertoire. However, closer examination reveals noticeable gaps in it as Renaissance works have been largely overlooked. To illuminate this issue, chapter 2 revisits adaptations for two guitars of music originally written for vihuelas, lutes, viols, and the virginal to inquire about the reasons for this neglect and discuss plausible solutions. Because the virginal stands out for its innovative characteristics and alignment with the solo lute works by John Dowland (1563–1626) and John Johnson (ca. 1545–1594), the “English School” of Virginalists is further explored as a potential source of suitable works for transcriptions.
Chapter 3 discusses philosophical concepts and editorial practices to propose a method aimed at producing stylistically faithful adaptations of virginal music. The editorial criteria for this method are informed by in-depth reflections on terminology, the ontology of musical works, the notion of authenticity, and common sixteenth-century practices from musica ficta to tuning temperaments and notational conventions. Concerning ethical matters, this chapter assesses authorship issues that originated at the turn of the nineteenth century but are still adopted by modern editors and transcribers. This discussion aims to shed light on both the negative impact on intellectual property and how it can be avoided by simply resorting to the practice of scholarly transcriptions. Chapters 4 and 5 explain the procedures and applications of the proposed method in two parts: adaptation and revision. The first introduces concepts and strategies from choosing suitable works to balancing playability and aesthetic fidelity intended to produce a preliminary version of the original work. The second establishes a knowledge base through musico-historical discussions and comparative analyses of sources that inform editorial decisions and necessary changes to be implemented in the final score.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
abstract: Johann Sebastian Bach's violin Sonata I in G minor, BWV 1001, is a significant and widely performed work that exists in numerous editions and also as transcriptions or arrangements for various other instruments, including the guitar. A pedagogical guitar performance edition of this sonata, however, has yet to be published. Therefore, the core of my project is a transcription and pedagogical edition of this work for guitar. The transcription is supported by an analysis, performance and pedagogical practice guide, and a recording. The analysis and graphing of phrase structures illuminate Bach's use of compositional devices and the architectural function of the work's harmonic gravities. They are intended to guide performers in their assessment of the surface ornamentation and suggest a reduction toward its fundamental purpose. The end result is a clarification of the piece through the organization of phrase structures and the prioritization of harmonic tensions and resolutions. The compiling process is intended to assist the performer in "seeing the forest from the trees." Based on markings from Bach's original autograph score, the transcription considers fingering ease on the guitar that is critical to render the music to a functional and practical level. The goal is to preserve the composer's indications to the highest degree possible while still adhering to the technical confines that allow for actual execution on the guitar. The performance guide provides suggestions for articulation, phrasing, ornamentation, and other interpretive decisions. Considering the limitations of the guitar, the author's suggestions are grounded in various concepts of historically informed performance, and also relate to today's early-music sensibilities. The pedagogical practice guide demonstrates procedures to break down and assimilate the musical material as applied toward the various elements of guitar technique and practice. The CD recording is intended to demonstrate the transcription and the connection to the concepts discussed. It is hoped that this pedagogical edition will provide a rational that serves to support technical decisions within the transcription and generate meaningful interpretive realizations based on principles of historically informed performance.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
Since the late 1970s much interest has been shown in the development of electric guitar technique. Advances have been considerable, enabling players to explore new genres and repertoires but development methodologies have remained woefully fragmented. A new approach that sets out to promote electric guitar technique with development methodology is the purpose of this study. To this end, a process of transcription combined with an advanced technical analysis has been undertaken including a full categorization of the technical subgroups extant within each Caprice. The hypothesis behind this task has been to ascertain whether a ‘technical essence’ could be discovered in the Caprices and how that could be imparted in the process of transcription. Transcribing the 24 Caprices for the electric guitar disclosed the technical components required for development which were then reduced to their constitute elements. The virtuosity and variation within the Caprices ensured that the each identified technique was developed to a high degree. The subjective nature of transcription ensured that multiple solutions were explored when a single solution to a technical problem was not obvious. The analysis section of the study demonstrated that three fundamental techniques were required to play all 24 Caprices: alternate-picking, sweep-picking, and hammer-ons and pull-offs. The analyses also provided trends showing how each technique needed to be developed to comprehensively cover all twenty-four pieces. In conclusion, the hypothesis was found to be correct.
