sheet music ?'s


Hi,

1.
Just wondering, what's the difference in musical notations on sheet music for the oud and other stringed instruments, or say wind instruments? From what I've read, it seems there's a difference in octave but I don't understand why.

2.
I'm looking for "soude soude" an Armenian melody. I've tried a few google results but can't find it.

Thanks

Bonjour,

Each instrument has its own musical range or its own "voice" : http://www.dolmetsch.com/musictheory29.htm#top and http://www.dolmetsch.com/musictheory26.htm#soundingclefs

For example, to play a violin partita from J.S. Bach with a guitar is possible. But to do it, you have to transcribe it for the "guitar voice". Bach has written his partitas for a violin, not for a piano forte or a viola. Their musical range are different as their sound.

The Bach partitas exists for guitar, you can try to transpose them for oud. A very good exercise I think.

A other good website talking about music theory : http://www.musictheory.net
