Souvenir de Petersbourg, Fantasie �l�gante (A Souvenir of St. Petersburg) is the sixth piece in the series of 12 concert works under the title of Morceaux de Salon pour la Luth par A. Darr. This is one of Darr�s largest works. The work utilizes they keys of d-minor, D-Major, Bb-Major, and G-Major, For the mp3 I used the �Alpine Zither� sample from Precisionsound with Logic Pro�s EXS24 sampler and some Space Designer convoluted reverb. Zither players need to be aware that Darr�s zither tuning is different that of today�s modern instrument. For a historically accurate performance, string #10 must be tuned and octave higher, while strings # 17, 19, and 22 must be tuned an octave lower than today�s tuning standard. For this piece scordatura is used. Of the accompaniment strings #10 must be lowered from f# to f-natural. In an effort to bring some clarity and brevity to the notation, I have used some guitar designations. The fretboard strings are designated as Arabic numerals inside of a circle and orders from the highest string (a) number 1 to the lowest string © number 5. Harmonics are designated with diamond note heads at pitch, with a string number and fret number. 12th fret harmonics are only designated with a diamond head note and a string number. Although this is a departure from past practices, I believe it adds clarity and a certain amount of uniformity with other classical instrument notation. For more information on Darr see my DMA research paper "ADAM DARR (1811-1866) THE CAREER AND WORKS OF A GERMAN ROMANTIC GUITARIST AND ZITHERIST."
