transcribed for guitar by Geoff M. PhillipsWell, let's see here....I transposed the piece from the original key above to D Major to make it easier to play on the guitar. I have tried to stick as close to the original piano score as possible, and the dropped D tuning was added to enhance the upward bass movement of the last few measures. This is the primary theme from the sonata's first movement, which is a set of variations based on this theme. I will probably transcribe some of the variations, let me know which one's you would like to see. Repeat each section once. Please, please, listen to the midi file to get an idea of what is expected of the rhythm and dynamics. Connect the notes as much as possible and try not to screw it up. It isn't that hard to play, and its fun. Listen to a live performance on the piano to get an idea. Let me know what you think. Have fun!
