    Introduction

    The final edition of Foscarinis work, Li cinque libri della chitarra alla spagnolais a cumulation of his previous four books printed from the original engravedplates, with the addition of a fifth book. His dedication to the French nobleman,Charles III of Lorraine, Duke of Guise is dated from Rome on 25 th September1640. There are no separate title pages indicating where each book begins butthe first section - pages 2-14 includes some but not all of the pieces from Books 1and 2; Book 3 starts on page 15, Book 4 on page 79 and Book 5 on page 103.

    The pieces from Books 1 and 2 are entirely strummed apart from occasionalauxiliary notes inserted between the chords. Most of the pieces in Books 3, 4 and5 are in "mixed" style, combining strummed chords with lute style counterpointbut a small number of them are entirely in lute style. Some of these have beenidentified as arrangements of pre-existing lute pieces and it is likely that the

    others are too and will eventually be identified.

    Notation

    Foscarini's notation is difficult to interpret as his use of time signatures, barlinesand note values is inconsistent. Many of the pieces are unbarred, and those thatare, are not always barred in a helpful way. Note values are ambiguous,wrongly aligned with the tablature or missing altogether and a clear distinctionis not always made between black and white note values. This may be due toproblems with the engraving but it may also reflect changes in notation taking

    place more generally at the time. Due to wear and tear on the plates, some of thenote values are difficult to read. There are numerous obvious misprints of onesort or another. In some places his intentions can only be a matter of guess work.One added complication is that many of the pieces are probably meant to beplayed with a very free sense of rhythm and what Foscarini has tried to do is tonotate the music in the way that he played it himself rather than with the correctnote values. Unfortunately this doesnt work in practice. Setting a beat andthen trying to reproduce the note values exactly as written is contrary to thespirit in which the music should be played.

    Foscarini includes quite detailed instructions explaining how his notation works.All the pieces are in Italian lute tablature with alfabeto for the basic strummed 5-part chords. The direction of the chords to be strummed, whether representedby single letters or notated in tablature, is indicated by stroke marks like this -

    - down from the lowest line of the tablature for a bass to treble strokeand up from the lowest line for a treble to bass stroke. In his instructions he alsomakes it clear that auxiliary or passing notes between the chords should be

    iii

    played as single notes and he often places stroke marks under auxiliary noteswhich can only be played as single notes. He also adds stroke marks to singlechords and in passages in two or three part counterpoint which are probablyintended to be played in lute style. His reason for doing this may be because itmakes the music easier to read especially when there are no bar lines and few

    note values. In at least one place the Capriccio on p.89 he has put a stroke markunder three notes which are slurred and obviously intended to be played assingle notes.

    I have omitted the stroke marks wherever it seems to me that the chords orpassages are not clearly intended to be strummed. (I think this does highlightthe fact that the music is easier to read when they are included!)

    Chords represented by alfabeto have been transcribed fully in tablature. Theletters which represent them have been inserted below the tablature stave to helpplayers familiarise themselves with this type of notation. The figures 4 - 3following a letter indicate that a 4 - 3 suspension has been inserted into the firstchord and resolves in the second. This particular feature of Foscarinis notationcannot be reproduced with Django software. Django will not reproduce thesymbol & to represent a chord either so I have used the sign $ in places where

    this chord occurs.

    Zeros representing open courses have been filled in both in the alfabeto chordsand elsewhere where this seemed appropriate.

    Ornaments

    Foscarini uses four signs for ornaments

    t. indicates a trill (represented by this sign .T. in the original).

    Foscarini does not explain how this should be played but a trillstarting with the main note is probably the most appropriate

    x is not explained in the preface but probably indicates a mordent

    % is not explained but is used in the Taste grata on p.113. It seems toindicate that the chords to which it is attached are to be arpeggiated

    4/283

    iv

    x indicates vibrato (actually a double cross or double sharp sign inboth the original and the transcription)

    Ornaments are indicated quite sparingly; it is not always clear which notes theyare meant to be attached to and they sometimes appear in unlikely places (and in

    places where it is difficult to insert them with Django software). I have notadded any ornaments but the music was probably much more elaboratelyornamented than the original notation suggests and some sort of ornament atleast at a cadence was de rigeur.

    Foscarini does also put in slur marks to indicate groups of notes which shouldbe played by the left hand only, although he does so in a somewhat random way.He tends to put the slur above the notes if they ascend and below the notes ifthey descend but does not do so consistently. I have not attempted to reproducethese literally but have put them in the most convenient place. I have

    occasionally added slur marks where these seemed appropriate but have notdone so very consistently.

    Stringing

    The standard Italian tuning instructions and tuning charts are included in thetypeset introduction found at the beginning of each edition of Foscarinis book

    and much has been made of the fact that he has included in these a check whichhe says is in octaves. This seems to imply that both the fourth and fifth coursesof the guitar were octave strung, although if interpreted literally it wouldactually indicate that the fourth and fifth courses were strung in unison in thelower octave.

    These instructions are included in Foscarinis earlier surviving book,Intavolatvra di chitarra spagnola. Libro secondo, printed in Macerata in 1629which is, at least in part, a plagiarized edition of Giovanni Ambrogio ColonnasIntavolatura di chitarra alla Spagnuola printed in Milan in 1620. Foscarini may

    have copied the instructions either from a missing book of Colonnas or anotherearlier alfabetobook. There is no reason to suppose that he explicitly intended allthe music in later editions to be played with octave stringing on both the fourthand fifth courses. His musical style develops quite considerably and the piecesin Book 5 exhibit some of the characteristics of later Italian and French guitarmusic. There are places, both in the three-part counterpoint and the passagework, where notes on the fifth course seem to belong in the upper octave andoverall much of the music works well with octave stringing only on the fourth

    v

    course. Later editions of the book were apparently printed in Rome, where ifSanz is to be believed, the fully re-entrant tuning was preferred and Romanguitarists may well have played some or all the music without low octave stringsat all. With the possible exception of the lute style pieces in Book 3, the musicreally works well which ever method of stringing is selected. Players should

    feel free to experiment and chose the one which they feel works best. This isalmost certainly what players would have done in the seventeenth century.

    Brief Notes on the Pieces

    Please note that this is a working document. Comments,corrections and suggestions will be be gratefully received and canbe sent to me at my page on www.earlyguitar.ning.com

    I would like to thank Martin Macdougall for his help intranscribing many of the pieces from Book 3.

    These transcriptions are not intended to be definitive so I have not detailed allthe changes I have made where the original notation is confusing or incomplete. I

    have tried to adhere as closely as possible to what appears in the tablature evenwhen this does not always produce the most convincing musical results. Theidea is to provide versions which give some idea about how the music might beplayed and which seem to work reasonably well in practice. They can be usedas a basis for more elaborate reworkings. The original is available in facsimilefor anyone who wants to create their own arrangements.

    As a general rule Foscarini puts in the time signature 3 if the piece is in somesort of triple time; if there is no time signature the piece is usually in commontime.

    Please note that it is sometimes necessary to have bars of different lengths tofit the rhythm. Django software seems to have a problem with numbering thebars when this occurs. Dont be surprised if bar references in the followingnotes dont always match up as you would expect. Note also that whennumbering the bars Django does so according to bar lines so that even a shortpick up beat will count as a full bar.

    Books 1-2. (Working)

    The pieces in Books 1-2 are in alfabeto. Most of the pieces are set out in severaldifferent keys represented by different alfabeto letters.

    p.1 Aria de Firenze Seconda [G major] [p.6]. No time signature. There areno bar lines but it bars regularly. This is included in Foscarini's earlier Librosecundo (1629) and is probably the most popular piece in the alfabeto repertoire.

    p.2 Spagnoletta Prima [D minor] [p.8]. Time signature = 3. There are no barlines. The first phrase is only 7 bars long because Foscarini has not indicated thatChord M3 should either be sustained or repeated at the cadence to make up theregular number of bars found in other sources. This is not included in Foscarinis"Libro secundo" (1629) and may therefore be from his missing Libro primoalthough this is uncertain.

    Book 3.

    Overall the pieces are arranged by key. There are some individual pieces butquite frequently two or three dance movements based on similar material aregrouped together. In turn some of the pieces are essentially re-workings of thesame material in different keys.

    Pieces in G major

    p.3 Capritio detto il Gratioso [p.15] No time signature or bar lines. It shouldbe in common time but is probably meant to be played in a very free manner.The 5-part chords should be spread rather than strummed.

    p.4 Corrente [p.15] Time signature = 3. Barred regularly.

    p.5 Aria di Firenze Passeggiata sopra lA [p.16] No time signature or barlines but in common time. This is an elaborate take on the Aria di Firenze inBooks 1-2.

    p.7La medema in Corrente

    [p.16] Time signature = 3. Unbarred. This is are-working in triple time of the previous piece. Chord K5 in bar 5 has beenchanged to K2 (marked with !).

    p.8 Capriccio sopra la Ciaccona sul A [p.17]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred.

    vii

    p.10 Corrente [p.18] Time signature = 3. Not a very satisfactory piece. Bits ofit are similar to the Corrente which follows on p. 19 and I have grafted in a phraseor two from this.

    p.11 Passacaglio Spagnolo [p.18] Time signature = 3. Unbarred.

    p.12 Corrente [p.19]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred. The rhythm presentssome problems.

    p.13 Balletto Polacco [p.19]. No time signature. Unbarred but in commontime.

    Pieces in G minor

    p.14 Tocatta detta la Inamoratta [p.20] No time signature. Unbarred but

    more or less in common time. Interestingly the title in the earlier edition ofFoscarinis work is Toccata musicaledetta la TURCA and the piece is dedicated toMarc Antonio Turco rather than Jacome Despiotz. The titles do not necessarilygive any idea as to the nature of the pieces. Clearly it is meant to be played in arhythmically free manner. There are no note values in the last section of thepiece until the final phrase. I have notated the chords until that point ascrotchets but it is probably up to players to interpret them as they wish. In thecontext it makes sense to include all open courses in the first chord in bar 14 andthe last chord in bar 25 (marked with !) in spite of the unusual dissonance thiscreates.

    p.15 Capriccio sopra il Passacaglio [p.20] Time signature = 3. Unbarred. Ithink the passages in bars 6-8 and 10-12 are best treated as 3-part counterpoint;the chords can be arpeggiated but it is not appropriate to include open courseswhere these are dissonant.

    p.16 Passacalli passeggiati [p.21] Time signature = 3. Unbarred.

    p.17 Corrente La Sprezzata [p.22] Time signature = 3. Unbarred. Therhythm is uncertain in places becasue of what appear to be written out trilli.

    p.18 Alemanda 2a [p.22] No time signature. Unbarred but bars fairly easily incommon time. At the end there is an alternative title = Baletto Frances. In bar 18it is not clear where the notes marked with ! fit in in the original tablature.

    p.19 Aria della Fulia variata [p.23] Time signature = 3. Unbarred but barsregularly.

    p.21 Passemezzo passegiato sopra lO [p.24] No time signature. Unbarredbut bars regularly in common time.

    p.22 La sua gagliarda [p.24] No time signature and no bar lines but in tripletime and bars regularly.

    p.23 Galiarda detta la liberale [p.25]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred. There arenine galliards in Book 3. All have the time signature 3 which indicates threeminims or six crotchets to a measure. Three of them consist of a single sectionattached to other movements. Six of them are in two sections which arerepeated. All of them are unbarred and the ones in two sections include at leastsome measures comprising only four crotchets, usually in the second section.This seems to be a characteristic of the gagliarda. The following is an examplefrom Benedetto Sanseverinos Il primo libro d'intavolatura per la chitarra allaspagnuola. (1622), p.41 and although it is barred regularly in 3/2 the strumming

    patterns and the way in which the harmony changes does result in some notesgrouped as four crotchets.

    Gagliarda [sopra D. In tripla] Altro modo

    In addition, interpreting the note values is sometimes problematic becauseFoscarini does not always make a clear distinction between white notes andblack notes. This is particularly apparent in the opening bars of the pieceswhere what appears to be the same rhythmic pattern is notated differently ineach galliard. This should comprise two measures with the basic rhythm

    9/283

    ix

    The problem seems to arise when the first measure is divided into six crotchets,

    or dotted crotchet/quaver x 3. In this particular galliard the note values areunclear but the rhythm of the first measure is probably intended to be

    Otherwise it can be barred regularly.

    Pieces in D major

    p.24 Passe mezzo sopra lC Passeggiato [p.26]. No time signature but incommon time. Unbarred but barring and rhythm is reasonbly clear.

    p.26 La sua Gagliarda [p.26]. No time signature but in triple time with sixcrotchets to a bar. A single section. No bar lines but bars regularly.

    p.27 Gagliarda [p.27]. Time signature = 3 with six crotchets to a bar.Unbarred. The note values or lack of them in the second half creates someproblems. It is possible to force the music into regular bars of six crotchets butfrom bar 16 onwards this results in strong beats falling in the wrong place and itseems fairly clear that the piece comes to a climax with Chord N2 in bar 18.From that point onwards I have grouped the crotchets in fours until the cadenceis approached at bar 22.

    p.28 Corrente [p.27]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred but bars fairly regularly.Paired with the precedinggagliarda.

    p.29 Ciacona variata [p.28] Time signature = 3. Unbarred but bars regularly[with an anacrucis] although the stress sometimes falls on the first beat of the barand sometimes on the second. In bar 26 Foscarini has indicated that the firstchord [marked with an !] should be strummed but has left the third course

    blank. It makes more sense harmonically to stop it at the 2nd fret a D majorchord. In bar 31 he has included the fifth course stopped at the 2nd fret in thesecond chord [marked with an !] which should also be the same D major chord.This is probably a misprint.

    p.31 Corrente [p.29] Time signature = 3. Unbarred. It is not entirely clearwhether this is two separate pieces. I have created a break at bar 18 to presevethe what seems to be the melodic pattern.

    p.32 Zarabanda(1) [p.29] Time signature = 3. Unbarred but bars regularly.

    p.32 [Zarabanda(2)] [p.29] Time signature = 3. Unbarred but bars regularly.Seems to be separate from the preceding as it starts with an anacrusis.

    p.33 Battaglia [p.30] No overall time signature and unbarred. The piececonsists mainly of variations on Chord C imitating trumpet calls. The first halfis more or less in common time but I have barred it with 2 crotchets to a bar tomake it easier (I hope) to read. In the second half the different sections switchbetween common time and triple time. In bars 48-52 and 68-70 I have halved thenote values to maintain the momentum.

    Pieces in D minor

    p.35 Toccatta Musicalle Detta la fedelle [p.31] In common time changing to3. Unbarred but bars regularly.

    p.36 Passacagli passegiati sopra lE [p.32]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred butbars fairly regularly. Throughout Foscarini has used Chord I+ from his alfabetofalso and written in the altered note on the fourth course at the cadence as well an example of the inconsistent way in which he uses his notation.

    p.38 Passe mezzo passeggiato [p.33]. Time signature = 3. Foscarini has putin the bar lines correctly all the way through.

    p.40 La sua gagliarda passeggiata [p.33]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred butstraight forward. A single section paired with the preceding Passe mezzo.

    p.41 Fulias con parti uariate [p.34]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred but barsfairly regularly although there are places where there are too many stroke marksto fit the correct number of beats in a bar.

    p.43 Baletto il Fedel Amante [p.35] No time signature in common time. Thebaletto is in binary form. Each section is followed by a variation, or double in lutestyle. The strummed sections are unbarred but the variations are barred. Thepiece is loosely based on the chord sequence of thefolia also known in Italy as thefedele. The title is perhaps intended as a play on words.

    p.44 Capriccio sopra E : il passacaglio [p.35]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred.It forms a coda to Il Fedel Amante.

    p.45 Corrente [p.36]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred. It bars fairly regularlywith one irregular bar of four beats although there seems to be a superfluous

    stroke mark in the pick up beat of the second section. Chord N3 at the midpointcadence has been corrected to N2.

    p.46 Corrente la Granosa [p.37] Time signature = 3. Unbarred but bars fairlyregularly in 6/4 although some note values appeared to be misplaced. In bar 11the passing note between the two Chords N3 has been changed from B naturalto C natural i.e. first course stopped at the 8th fret rather than the 7th.

    p.46 Passacaglio [p.37] Time signature = 3. Unbarred but bars regularly.Coda to the preceding corrente. In bar 25 Chord N has been changed to N5.

    p.47 Toccata musicale [p.38] No time signature but in common time.Unbarred and note values unhelpful in places.

    p.48 Pauaniglia con parti uariate [p.39] No time signature but barredregularly in common time. In bar 2 the note on the third course on the fourthcrotchet has been changed from A stopped at 2nd fret to open course G. In bar 3the notes on the fourth course on the second and third crotchets have beenmoved to the fifth course. In bar 29 the note on the fourth course on the secondcrotchet has been moved from the 5th fret to the 3rd. I can see no objection to the

    augmented 2nd

    between the B flat and C sharp in bars 15 and 29 although othersmight. In bar 44 the note on the third course on the third crotchet has beenmoved to the fourth course.

    p.50 Alemanda [p.40] No time signature but barred fairly regularly incommon time. I have added a couple of quavers in bar 5 in order to bring thethe F major chord after the cadence onto a strong beat. The two crotchets in thebar at half way mark have been halved to compensate for this. The piece and thetwo correntes which follow may be arrangements of lute pieces.

    p.51 Corrente con la sua uariatione [p.41] Time signature = 3. Barredregularly.

    p.53 Corrente Francese con le sue parti doppie [p.42] Tme signature = 3.Barred regularly. This is a faithful arrangement of a courante for lute by[Ennemond?] Gaultier found in the manuscript known as Herbert of Cherbury'sLute Book, GB:Cfm Ms. Mus.689, f.37r.and in RUS: SPa Ms.O.124, f.58v-59v.

    Pieces in E minor/major

    p.55 Toccata [p.43]. No time signature. Unbarred but in common time. Theauxiliary notes inserted between the two chords in bars 18 and 19 (marked withexclamation marks in the transcription) seem to have been placed on the first

    course instead of the second. I have also altered the auxiliary note between thetwo Chords M+4 in bar 20 from F sharp (which is unplayable unless the chord isreleased) to G sharp which matches the overall melodic sequence.

    p.57 Corrente [p.43]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred. At the mid cadenceChord B has a cross + immediately above it. This is one of the chords fromFoscarinis alfabeto dissonante but as notated in the table on page 1 it makes nosense harmonically. It is possible that the chord is misprinted in the table andthat the first course should be unstopped. This would make it a dominant 7thchord. It is possible that here the + is supposed to be above the Chord C which

    follows. Although Foscarini has actually put in the suspended 4th as a separatenote he often duplicates this information. A simple Chord B sounds better. Inbar 18 the auxiliary note between the two chords has been changed from g# tof#.

    p.58 Passacaglio Passeggiato sopra la + [p.44]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred.The rhythm and barring of the last two variations before the final one (bars 43 54 in this edition) is problematic. It is possible that there is a stroke markmissing from Chord M+2 at the beginning of bar 44. If this is included there areten full bars which can be divided into either two five bar sections or four plus

    six bar ones. At the cadence the first Chord H2 has been changed to M+2. Ihave provided an alternative version with two four bar variations by eliminatingwhat seems to be unnecessary repetition of the 3-part chord in bar 50.

    p.61 Gagliarda [p.45]. Time signature = 3. Unbarred. The rhythm of thisgalliard presents a number of problems. Foscarini has notated the openingfigure and that which follows the semibreve Chord M5 (bar 9 in this edition) asdotted minims + crotchets which creates a hiatus in the music. I have halved thenote values in both places. From bar 4 6 I have doubled the note values for thesame reason. Apart from the opening phrase and the phrase following theintermediate cadence on Chord M5 in the first section, the music seems to barmore logically in common time.

    p.62 [Corrente] [p.45]. Untitled. Time signature = 3 seems to indicate threeminims to a measure and it bars regularly in spite of the cross rhythms. At bar 6there is another example of Chord B+ from Foscainis alfabeto dissonante and as inCorrente[p.43] it makes no sense harmonically. See above.

    p.63 Balletto [p.46]. No time signature but seems to be in triple time.Foscarini has put trills on Chord G3 in bars 3 and 20 which are impossible toplay. Feel free to leave them out.

    p.64 [Corrente] [p.46]. Untitled. Time signature = 3. In the second half there

    are three places (bars 25, 31 & 34) where Foscarini seems to intend there to befour beats in a bar, a minim and two crotchets. These could be changed to adotted crotchet and a quaver. I have added a pick up beat at the beginning forluck.

    p.65 Sarabande variate [p.47]. Time signature 3. Unbarred but bars fairlyregularly.

    p.67 Tastegiata detta la Feretti [p.48]. No time signature. Unbarred. Thispiece and the Corrente, Fantasia and Volta francese which follow seem to be

    arrangements of pieces for the lute.

    p.68 Corrente [p.48]. Time signature = 3. Foscarinis regular barring works inspite of the cross rhythms.

    p.69 Fantasia [p.49]. No time signature. Barred regularly. Although this hasbeen inserted between the Corrente and Volta francese it doesnt really seem tobelong with the other pieces. It is in E major rather than E minor and in placesdoesnt (in my opinion) work very well on the guitar.

    p.70 Volta francese [p.49]. Time signature = 3. Barred regularly.

    Pieces in A minor

    p.73 Corrente La Vignon [p.51] Time signature = 3. Barred regularly.

    p.74 Sarabanda Francese [p.51] Time signature = 3. Barred regularly. This aversion of the Sarabanda found on p. 44 of Corbettas Varii scherzi di sonate(1648). Corbetta was accused by Granata of plagiaizing Foscarinis music butFoscarini in turn has probably copied pieces from earlier sources. He hasincluded another version of the same sarabanda on p.53. This version is entirelyin lute style and may not originally be by Foscarini either.

    p.75 Corrente [p.52] Time signature = 3. Unbarred which creates a fewproblems.

    p.76 Zarabanda Francese [p.52] Time signature = 3. Unbarred but barsregularly.

    p.77 Capriccio Musicale II [p.52] No time signature which implies commontime. However there are no bar lines and the note values are very unhelpful.

    One of the most difficult pieces to reconstruct convincingly. It is clearly meantto be played in a very free manner. There is no Capriccio musicale I but theToccata musicale on p.38 is in a similar style. Other pieces which includecapriccio in the title arepassacaglias or ciaconas.

    p.78 Corrente [p.53] Time signature = 3. Unbarred but bars fairly easily. Inthe first full bar the chord on the fourth crotchet has been obliterated in thefacsimile edition and has been supplied from an earlier edition.

    p.79 Volte prima Francese [p.53] Time signature = 3. Unbarred but bars

    fairly regularly. Although it is described as Volte prima the only other volte inthe book occurs on p. 49.

    p.80 Zarabanda Francese uariata [p.53] Time signature = 3. Unbarred butbars regularly. This is another version of the Sarabanda found on p. 51 which wasalso included on p.44 of Corbettas Varii scherzi di sonate (1648) as notedabove.

    p.81 Corrente Francese [p.54] Time signature = 3. Barred regularly. This isan arrangemnent of a courante for lute by Ren Mesangeau in CZ-Pnm IV.G.18,

    Pieces in F major

    p.83 Tasteggiata Soaue [p.55] No time signature which implies that it is incommon time. It is unbarred and the note values are unhelpful. It is obviouslyintended to be played in a very free manner and Foscarini has tried(unsuccessfully) to indicate this literally. The note values have not thereforebeen reproduced exactly as they are in the original. They have been edited to fit4 crotchets into a bar with strong beats falling in line with the harmony andpause marks where there is meant to be a break in the music. The best way toplay it is to decide on a value for the crotchet beat and then deviate from it atwill.

    p.85 Aria di Firenze passeggiatta [p.56] No time signature but in common

    p.87 [Corrente] [p.56] Time signature = 3. Unbarred. Unlike the version onp.16 there is no anacrucis. The stroke marks are not always well aligned with thealfabeto chords and are sometimes lacking. They have therefore been matched upin places with the earlier version.

    p.88 Sinfonia Prima [p.57] No time signature but seems to be in common

    time. The title doesnt give much away. The piece is in four sections; thesecond section is a variation on the first and the fourth section a variation on thethird. The note values pose some problems. The note values indicating thedotted rhythm in the first section are inconsistent. They have been regularizedinto a pattern of dotted crotchet quaver. The semi-quavers in the secondsection have been grouped in triplets; the last two semiquavers in bar 12 havebeen moved from the fourth course to the third. In the third and fourth sectionsChord P5 in bar 17 & bar 25 has been changed to N5 which seems to make moresense harmonically. The semi-quavers in the last section have been reduced todemi-semi quavers. There other equally likely interpretations.

There is no time signature whichusually indicates that the piece is in common time and the other Balletto Polaccoon p. 19 [p. 13 in this edition] does fit easily into common time. However thisexample will not bar regularly in either common or triple time because of theelaborate cross rhythms. It is fairly obvious when playing the piece where thestrong beats should fall but in order to indicate this it is necessasry to have barsof differing lengths. Even then it is necessary in two places to amend the notevalues found in the original version. It should be noted that Django softwarehas a problem with irregular bar lines and the bar numbering is up the creek inthis piece.

    is typical of the galliard but in this example Foscarini has notated it as

    Unfortunately it is not clear whether when the same note values occur further on(at bar 16 in this transcription) they should should be taken at face value orplayed undotted. I have opted for the latter and doubled the value of N5 to try acreate a balance. Other alternatives are possible!

This is the only piece for two guitars in thebook. Foscarini has not given the relative pitches but the part on the lower staveis either a perfect 4th above the part on the upper stave or a perfect 5th below.

    Otherwise the parts are to all intents and purposes identical. There are a fewproblems. In bar 7 the second chord in the first part has been changed from K5to P5 = A minor to match the second part. Bar 10 is a beat short in both parts; anadditional crotchet has been added on the last beat in each case. In bars 7 and 11Foscarini has indicated a 4-3 suspension in one part but not the other; I havecorrected these although it is possible the clash is intentional.

In bar 64 the chords have been filled in to create 4-partchords. In bar 76 Foscarini has indicated that the fifth course should be stoppedat the 2nd fret. This may be intentional, but the correct chord should be Chord&2 ($2 in this edition) which is slightly more difficult to play. Some changeshave been made to the last three sections. The passage in bar 64-5 which occurs

    Book 4.

    Book 4 comprises a series of Passacaglie and Ciacone in different keys togetherwith a group of pieces in scordatura. The Passacaglie are in minor keys - E minor,G minor, C minor, A minor, D minor and B minor; the Ciacone in major keys - C

    major, D major, F major and B flat major Otherwise there is not much to chosebetween them. Each is in two sections. All are in triple time and unbarred.They tend to be repetitive, reworking the same motifs in each key but are auseful way of learning the chords.

    p.138 Passacaglio Variato sopra l+ [p.79]. Time signature = 3. The note valuesin the passages in lute style are chaotic and a certain amount of re-compositionhas been necessary especially from bar 13-23.

    p.142 Passacaglio Passegiato sopra La Lettera del O [p.81]. Time signature = 3.Fairly straightforward. There is one odd chord in b.25 [marked with a !] whereFoscarini has b flat and b natural sounding together. I have altered the note onthe second course to d.

    p.144 2da parte de li Passacagli Variati sopra lO [p.82]. Time signature = 3. Inbar 13 chord P2 has been changed to P3. In bar 14, 3rd fret on the third course inwhat is fairly obviously a D major chord has been changed to 2nd fret.

    p.148 2d Parte del passacaglio Spagniolo sopra lL [p.84] Time signature = 3.The first chord in bar 18 includes both E flat on the second course and E naturalon the open first course; the latter has been omitted.

    course has been changed to D played at the 3rd fret. However, since Foscarinihas indicated that the note on the first course is to be played with vibrato it ispossible that he does actually intend a major chord to be played with anexaggerated slide between the B flat and B natural.

    p.161 2d Parte del capriccio uariato sopra lX [p.90] Time signature = 3. Thefirst alfabeto chord in bar 4 looks like a G but is probably a misprint as it reallymakes no sense to play an F major chord at that point. It has therefore beenchanged to Chord C = D major modulating to the relative major.

    p.163 Ciacona Variata sopra lB [p.91]. Time signature = 3. Sections of thiswill sound familiar as they recur in later Ciacone notably those by Corbetta.They are probably stock- in-trade formulae which everyone felt free to use. It

    also makes a feature of a dissonant form of Chord D with the first course frettedat the first fret. This converts it from a plain A minor chord to a major 7th chordon the fourth degree of the scale.

    changed to G2 although either way sounds a bit odd.

    p.171 Ciacona con Variationi sopra lG [p.95]. Time signature = 3. Aninteresting feature of both parts of this Ciacona is Chord B with a suspended 4thon the fourth course sounding simultaneously with the 3rd of the chord on theopen first course at the cadences. This is almost certainly intentional. Betweenbars 43-47 the minims seem to indicate a kind of hemiola and are not intended tobe taken absolutely literally.

    p.174 2d Parte della Ciacona Variata sopra lG [p.96] Time signature = 3.Three of the alfabeto chords have the wrong figure above them placing them atthe wrong fret. These are marked with an exclamation mark. In bar 5 Chord G3has been changed to Chord G; in bar 14 Chord H2 has been changed to ChordH3; and in bar 25 Chord M5 has been changed to Chord M3. In bar 22 the firstchord is given as Chord H5 but Chord N5 makes more sense harmonically. Inbar 12 the first chord (marked with an exclamation mark!) is notated as 1/6 ; 2/0; 3/0 i.e. B flat ; B natural; G; which makes no sense. The note on the second

    course has been changed to D played at the 3rd fret. Cf. bar 9 of the Secondaparte of the Passacaglio Variato sopra lE.

    p.176 Ciacona variata sopra lH [p.97] Time signature = 3. There is a strokemark under the C minor chord in bar 14 and elsewhere in both sections. If the

    chord is to be strummed the open fourth course would have to be included but Ithink it is unclear whether that is what Foscarini intended. In bar 19 Foscarinihas notated only the notes played at the 6th fret on the first course (B flat) with astroke mark underneath. It makes no sense to include the open second course (Bnatural) in the strum so I have filled it out as a G minor chord. In bar 75 thethird course stopped at the 3rd fret has been changed to 5th fret which makesmore harmonic sense.

    p.179 2d Parte della Ciacona Variata sopra lH [p.98] Time signature = 3. Thissection is notable both for its use of the 11th fret on the first course in bar 17-18

    and for the double slurs in bar 37. In bar 48 the second semi-quaver has beenchanged from the 3rd to the 5th fret.

    Pieces in scordatura

    The next six pieces are for the guitar tuned as follows

    i.e. the fifth course is tuned up a tone and the first course down a tone.

    Foscarini occasionally seems to get notes at the wrong fret and sometimesincludes the open fifth course where it might be better to omit it. It is difficult totell whether this is intentional because of difficulties in fretting the chord orwhether they are simply errors.

    Book 5.

    The pieces in Book 5 are grouped by key usually two or three dance

    movements or a toccata with one or two dance movements - together with a fewmiscellaneous pieces. They follow a logical sequence G major, G minor, Cmajor, C minor, D major, D minor, E major, E minor, F major, F minor, A major,A minor, and B minor. Foscarini does frequently indicate that a piece is incommon time by placing a C at the beginning. This usually takes the form of areversed C with two dots which looks like a bass clef but he also uses the usualsign C. Most (but not all) of the pieces have barlines although these are notalways as helpful as they might be.

    Pieces in G major (A)

    p.188 Tocatta [p.103]. No time signature at the beginning but as the middlesection is in triple time it is fairly obvious that the opening and closing sectionsare in common time. Unfortunately the notes and note values are not alwaysvery helpful. In order to make up the full quota of notes in a bar it is sometimesnecessary to insert a few extra ones. It is possible that Foscarini intended there tobe bars of irregular duration or more complex cross rhythms but if so he hasfailed to make this clear. This is the case with most of the pieces which follow.

    p. 195 Corente [p.106]. Time signature = 3. Foscarini has barred it as if it was insimple triple time. However it is probably meant to be in compound 6/4 3/2

    time. I have compromised by barring it in groups of three crotchets except inplaces where there should probably be three minims to a bar. I have inserted anextra Chord P3 on the first beat of bar 4 (marked with an exclamation mark)although there is no stroke mark in the original, as it seems to work out betterlike that.

    p.202 Corente noua Inuentione con parte una Sopra laltra redoppiata [p.109].Time signature = 3. Barred erratically. The title translates roughly as Newlycomposed Corrente with each part above the other doubled (i.e. elaborated].The first section is the same as that of the Corrente noua Inuentione on p.68 (p. 61in this edition). The second part is different although in places it echoes otherpieces by Foscarini. The doubles to each section meander rather aimlessly. Atbar 50 the fourth quaver 9 on the fourth course = B natural - has been changedto 9 on the third course = E. At the end (bars 59-60) the fourth and fifth quavershave been changed from 4 - 3 on the third course = B natural/B flat to 5 - 4 = C/Bnatural. The final chord has been changed from Chord H8 (an F major chord) toChord N5 (a C major chord). Chord N5 has the first course stopped at the 8th

    fret which may account for Foscarinis error.

    p.204 Alemanda detta la Fauorita [p.110]. No time signature. In common timebut barred somewhat erratically. In bar 19 I have changed the note on the openthird course to the fourth course (marked with !) which makes more sensemelodically.

    p.114 Alemanda sopra la letera de L [p.111]. Time signature = C. Chord L isthe most awkward ofalfabeto chords to play and a dissonant form of it (shown atthe end of the first line) was often substituted for the correct chord. Foscarini hasincluded both forms in his table of standard chords at the beginning withoutmaking any distinction between the letters representing them; (Chord L+ in hisAlfabeto dissonante is a different chord altogether). It is therefore not clear whichshould be used in bar 2. Chord K3 which is easier to play is almost always usedinstead of Chord L.

    p.207 Fantasia [p.112] No time signature. In common time. Although it isbarred regularly and the note values are reasonably clear this is not a verysatisfactory piece. It starts off well with imitative entries but then seems towander off with no obvious logic. It may be intended to be in as many as fourparts but my attempts to reconstruct them have so far been unsuccessful. Havefun.

It does also have several sections

  • 7/29/2019 Foscarini2011

    26/283

    xxvi

    of rather aimless 2-part counterpoint. This makes it difficult to decide whetherthe odd harmonic shifts, which are vaguely reminiscent of Frescobaldi, areintentional. The passage towards the end of the first section features some fancystrumming. There are several places where passing notes are introducedbetween the chords and marked to be strummed with up-strokes. These are

    probably intended to be included in the chord as it is repeated but I have notatedthem as single notes because it makes it easier to pick them out. It also makessense to include the open courses throughout even when these are not indicatedin the original. An exception to this is at bar 50 where including the open fifthcourse sounds crude. In the previous bar 49 I have added the 7th to the chord,stopped at the 5th fret on the third course although Foscarini has implied that theopen third course should be included instead. He is rather fond of doing thisbut to my ears it is a dissonance too far. To balance with bar 50 the fifth coursecould be omitted.

    The second part includes a similar strummed section in the middle.Surprisingly Foscarini has notated both the tricky rhythmic scheme and thestroke symbols consistently and accurately throughout! Django does not allowfor a single chord to be represented followed by the appropriate note values andstrokes as in the original. To make it easier to read (I hope) I have put in the fullchord once, followed by the note on the first course only for the rest of each bar;the chord must of course be repeated for each stroke. In bars 29-31 the auxiliarynotes between the chords should be included in the chord; this is just aboutpossible in bar 29 if you are adept at using 4th finger half barrs. The sectionwhich follows is interesting because it includes indications for contrasting

    dynamics.

    p.222 Alemanda con variation [p.116] No time signature but obviously incommon time and barred after a fashion. Each section is supplied with arunning variation in semiquavers. Unfortunately these dont seem to berunning in anywhere in particular. The second variation especially lacks anyclear harmonic logic although the scale passages foreshadow campanellas.Foscarini probably expected players to remedy the deficiencies in his notationthemselves.

    Pieces in E major (F)

    p.224 Preludio [p.117] Time signature = C. Unbarred. It can be barred fairlyregularly but is probably meant to be played with a very free rhythm.

    p.225 Alemanda [p.117] There is both a reversed C clef and the time signatureC at the beginning. The piece is fairly obviously in common time but is barredirregularly.

    27/283

    xxvii

    p.226 Corrente [p117] Time signature = 3. Barred regularly throughout.

    Pieces in E minor (+)

    p.227 Alemanda [p.118] No time signature. In common time.

    p.228 Corente [p.118] Time signature = 3.

    Pieces in F major (G)

    p.229 Preludio [p.119] No time signature. In common time. The note valuesare unhelpful. I have padded it out in places to maintain the momentum.

    p.230 Alemanda [p.119] Time signature = C. The note values are unhelpful inplaces. I have inserted a few notes in bars 10-11 to make up a full complement

    of bars. In bar 17 the first note in the original is an A flat stopped at the 9th

    freton the second course. I have changed this to B natural stopped at the 7th fret onthe first course which seems to me to make better sense of the passage work.

    p.231 Corrente detta la funebre [p.120] Time signature = 3 indicating threecrotchets in a bar and it is barred like this throughout although the underlyingrhythm is more complex. There are places where the accents fall on what areweak beats for example at the half way cadence but changing the timesignature isnt particularly helpful.

    p.232 Zarabanda detta la fauorita [p.120] Time signature = 3. Most of thesingle notes on the first course could be incorporated into the chord. It is really amatter of taste which way they are played.

    Pieces in F minor [P]

    p.233 Tocata [p.122] No time signature but bars regularly in common time.

    p.234 Alemanda [p.122] Time signature = C. Bars regularly.

    p.235 Passacaglio [p.122] time signature = 3. Bars regularly.

    Pieces in A major (I)

    p.236 Toccatta [p.123] No time signature and no bar lines. In common timeand bars fairly regularly.

    p.237 Corrente con le parte redopiata [p.123] Time signature = 3. Barsregularly in triple time.

    Pieces in A minor (D)

    p.239 Toccatta sopra lD [p.124] No time signature. In common time. Thenote values are not terribly helpful.

    p.240 Alemanda [p.124] Time signature = C. Fairly straight forward.

    p.241 Sarabande [p.124] Time signature = 3.

    Pieces in B minor (K2)

    p.242 Toccatta [p.125] Time signature = C. There are problems with the note

    values. These three pieces are perhaps not among his best.

    p.243 Alemanda [p.125] Time signature = C.

    p.244 Sarabanda [p.125] Time signature = 3
