Assignment no.5: Annotation of sheet music.
|
After printing out the 'Reunion' piece above,(courtesy of MuseScore), I want you to observe the markings made on 'Autumn Leaves' to the left. These marks are called annotations. Experienced musicians almost always annotate their own sheet music to guide them around the piece, and to warn them about notational features that they might otherwise miss whilst they are performing from it. One such annotation to the top right of the sheet 'Bill Evans "Portrait in Jazz" is a reference to a recording made of this piece. Your assignment is to annotate the copy of 'Reunion' you have made, explaining what the symbols and signs made on the sheet mean. For example, draw an arrow pointing at such symbols as Clefs, Braces, crotchets, accidentals, ties, etc. and explain what each is called and means in a 'callout' or 'bubble'. Try to cover each type of sign and feature at least once. You can then scan your finished sheet and send it to me on my 'Send your work to Mr. G. page on this site.

While I digress, there is a mistake in attribution on this music, can you find out what that mistake is?
