1. This is a transcription for 5 guitars. Guitar 5 duplicates guitar 4, in analogy to the cello-double bass relationship.
2. It is necessary to use a guitar tuned up a 4th. In movements II and III guitar 1 uses this tuning throughout. In movement I it is used for a few bars. It can be played by a 6th guitarist or by the 1st guitarist who will switch. There is enough time for the switch since guitar 2 plays the part of guitar 1.
3. 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.
