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

([email protected]).



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.



Adagio Sostenuto.
