1. This transcription is for 2 solo guitars and an ensemble of 5 guitars. Guitars 4 and 5 (contrabass guitar, tuned one octave lower than a standard guitar) constitute a pair, complementing one another, so that the cello part can be performed its entire range, as written by Corelli. In the few cases where the phrase can be performed by guitar 4, which is tuned regularly, guitar 5 duplicates the melody, in analogy to the cello-double bass relationship.
2. In this transcription it will often be noticed that some chords are written using a regular-sized note and smaller notes. The regular-sized note is the main note of the melodic line to be played, and it is also possible (and at the performers’ discretion) to play the chords, too, in order for a richer sound to be achieved.
