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."
