Notes and Legend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The work with a duration of 10 minutes has been written during autumn 2016.
It is commissioned by the Festival d'Ouessant and is dedicated to the guitarist Caroline Delume... The second prelude has a dancing character with two themes. The first one is harmonic, the second one is melodic." (from the sheet)

The sheet does not give any left hand fingering and it is often unclear whether notes should be played on the higher or lower frets. Similarly the harmonics aren't clearly notated. In measures 48-50 they appear to be written at the correct pitch to fit in with the phrases they are part of, but in measure 51 they appear to be written an octave lower, otherwise they would need to be played on the 6th string which is already in use. (Suggestions welcome!)

measure 54 - in the sheet the notes in the last chord are quarter notes
(not eighth notes, as in measure 3)

=== - notes held, length of note, duration
=-= - let the note continue to sound

- (above the tab) accented, marked, stressed

|-3-| - triplet - 3 notes in the time of 2 notes
< < < - (below the tab) crescendo - becoming gradually louder
arp. - arpeggiate - ripple upwards from the lowest note to the highest note bpm - beats per minute
f - forte - loud
ff - fortissimo - very loud
mf - mezzoforte - moderately loud
mp - mezzopiano - moderately soft
p - (below the tab) piano - soft
rall. - rallentando - slowing down (often becoming gradually softer)
s - staccato - detached, cut off, the note is not held for its full value t - (above the tab) tenuto - stressed, slightly accented - played firmly -
the note is held for at least its full length
