Bach: beginning of the Prelude from the Suite for Lute in G minor BWV 995 (transcription of Cello Suite No. 5, BWV 1011) BR Bruxelles II. 4805. Music notation or musical notation is any system used to visually represent aurally perceived music through the use of written symbols, including ancient or modern musical symbols. Types and methods of notation have varied between cultures and throughout history, and much information about ancient music notation is fragmentary.
Although many ancient cultures used symbols to represent melodies, none of them is nearly as comprehensive as written language, limiting our modern understanding. History[edit] Ancient Near East[edit] The earliest form of musical notation can be found in a cuneiform tablet that was created at Nippur, in Sumer (today's Iraq), in about 2000 BC. Ancient Greece[edit] A photograph of the original stone at Delphi containing the second of the two Delphic Hymns to Apollo.
Byzantine Empire[edit] List of musical symbols. Lines[edit] Clefs[edit] Clefs define the pitch range, or tessitura, of the staff on which it is placed. A clef is usually the leftmost symbol on a staff. Additional clefs may appear in the middle of a staff to indicate a change in register for instruments with a wide range. In early music, clefs could be placed on any of several lines on a staff. Notes and rests[edit] Durations shorter than the 64th are rare but not unknown. 128th notes are used by Mozart and Beethoven; 256th notes occur in works by Vivaldi, Mozart and Beethoven. The name of very short notes can be found with this formula: th note. Breaks[edit] Accidentals and key signatures[edit] Common accidentals[edit] Key signatures[edit] Quarter tones[edit] Quarter-tone notation in Western music is not standardized. Other conventions for microtonal music are used on an ad hoc basis. Time signatures[edit] Time signatures define the meter of the music.
Note relationships[edit] Dynamics[edit] Other commonly used dynamics build upon these values. Eythor Thorlaksson. O segredo da guitarra. Baby Mahogany | Taylor Guitars.
