MUSIC NOTATION
PRELIMINARIES
All musical sounds are expressed by certain characters, called notes, which are named from the first seven
letters of the alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
The Stave contains five lines, and four spaces: the lowest line is called the first.
The notes are placed on the lines, or spaces above, or under the stave and the additional, called LEDGER lines
are for the higher and lower notes.
CLEFS
In order to determine the PITCH of musical notes, certain signs, called CLEFS or CLIFFS have been invented,
which are set at the beginning of the staves.
There are five in general use.
The Bass clef, on the 4

th
line ª The Tenor clef on the 4
th

d st
The Counter-tenor clef on the 3 line The Soprano clef on the 1 line

nd
And the Treble clef on the 2 line
The Treble and Bass clefs are chiefly used for the Piano Forte.

Let the PUPIL now strike the notes on the instrument; taking notice, that the first LONG key, on the left hand,
serves for the first F; the second LONG key for G; the third for A; and so on: making no other use, at present, of the
SHORT keys, than as GUIDES to direct the eye; by observing, that between B and C, and between E and F, there are
no SHORT keys; which places in the scale are distinguished thus .
⁀
Remark on the foregoing Scale.
The first EIGHT notes in the treble-stave from G to G, are the SAME as the corresponding EIGHT notes,
perpendicularly under them in the bass-stave, both in NAME and SOUND ; they are played, therefore, on the SAME
keys.
As a help to memory; let the Pupil contemplate the notes, SEPARATELY, on the lines, and spaces; beginning by
the FIVE lines.

6 CLEMENTI'S ART OF PLAYING ON THE PIANO FORTE
INTERVALS
An INTERVAL is the distance, or difference between two sounds in point of GAVITY or ACUTENESS.
The least of our INTERVALS is called a semitone, or half-tone: it is the INTERVAL, in the NATURAL scale, between

ª
E and F; and between B and C.
Ex:
E F B C
The
REGULAR progression of the OTHER notes in the NATURAL, which is also called DIATONIC scale, is by an
INTERVAL of two semitones or a whole note.

Example of the NATURAL or DIATONIC scale.
ª whole whole
whole semi- whole semi-
whole tone tone tone tone

The INTERVAL between C and D, between D and E, or between any two CONTIGUOUS notes, in the scale, is call a
SECOND: the INTERVAL between C and E, or between D and F, etc: is called a THIRD; and so on.
Example of INTERVALS

The INTERVAL of an 8 is commonly called an OCTAVE.
N.B. The nature, and name of the INTERVALS remain the same, whether the single notes be played
SUCCESSIVELY, or whether two, or more, be struck TOGETHER: the former is properly called MELODY; and the
latter, HARMONY.
Example of the latter.-

The notes thus taken TOGETHER are also called CHORDS; the succession of which, played from certain figures
set over a bass, according to a system of rules, is denominated THOROUGH-BASS.

Treble-notes.
It is now proper to take notice, that the bass-clef is also called the F-Clef, as it indicates by its position where
the note F lies: ª F

A DOT after a note, or rest, makes the note or rest half as long again. Ex: ¸ is equal to a minim and a
crotchet; or to three crotchets, and so on:

is equal to
and so on: by which it is evident, that the DOT to

a minim is equal to a crotchet; and the DOT to a crotchet is equal to a quaver; etc: When a second dot is added to
the first, the second dot is considered as the half of the first; therefore a double-dotted Crotchet thus is
equal to a crotchet, quaver, and semiquaver; or to seven semiquavers.
Let us farther illustrate this by the mark, called a TIE, made thus which, when placed between two

notes of the SAME pitch, binds the second to the first; so that only the first is struck, but the finger must be held
down the full length of both. It is therefore indifferent whether we write thus or or

and is the same in effect as
MUSIC NOTATION 9
TIME AND ITS DIVISIONS
The BAR, made thus divides a musical composition into EQUAL portions of time.
TIME is divided into two sorts; COMMON and TRIPLE; and of which is either SIMPLE or COMPOUND: and the
character or sign, which denotes it, is placed at the beginning of every composition, after the clef.
SIMPLE common time, when marked thus or denotes, that each bar contains one
semibreve, or its equivalent.
Example or

When marked thus

42 the bar contains one minim, or its equivalent.
Example 42
Four sorts of COMPOUND common time explained:

1 sort bar, or their equivalent

d 12 crotchets in a bar, etc.
3 sort

4 sort 46 6 crotchets in a bar, etc.
The two last sorts are very seldom used in modern music.
SIMPLE triple time explained.
23 three minims in a bar,

or their equivalent
43

three Crotchets in
a bar, etc:
83

three quavers in
a bar, etc:
COMPOUND triple time explained.
49 nine crotchets in
a bar, etc:
89 nine quavers in
a bar, etc:
COMPOUND triple time is seldom used in modern music.

N.B. The contents of every bar, in common time; whether SIMPLE, or COMPOUND, may be divided, (by beating or
counting) into four, or into two equal parts: and in triple time; whether simple, or COMPOUND, into three equal
parts.
The figures, which mark the time, have a reference to the SEMIBREVE; the LOWER number, showing into how
many parts the SEMIBREVE is divided; and the UPPER number, how many of such parts are taken to fill up a bar.
For example 4 2 denotes, that the SEMIBREVE is divided into four parts, namely, four crotchets; and that two of
them are taken for each bar: likewise 83 indicates, that the SEMIBREVE is divided into eight parts, namely, eight
quavers; and that three of them are adopted to compleat a bar.
The figure of 3 placed over three crotchets, quavers or semiquavers
thus
3 3 or 3 3 or 3 3 (which are called triplets) denotes, that
the three crotchets must be performed within the time of two common crotchets, or of one minim; the three
quavers within the time of two common quavers, or of one crotchet; and the three semiquavers within the time of
two common semiquavers, or of one quaver.
N.B. The easiest way is to consider them all as three to one, and to beat or count the time accordingly; that is, to
beat the first of every 3. (N.B. SCARLATTI, and others have written three demisemiquavers to a quaver; and three
semiquavers to a crotchet in some of their pieces.) The figure of 6 over quavers or semiquavers, means that they
are to be performed within the time of four of the same kind; which is a similar case to the preceding one. The
figures 5, 7, 9, 10 etc. follow the same rule.
MUSIC NOTATION 11
SHARPS, FLATS, ETC.

The SHARP placed before a note, raises it a semitone or half-tone. Let us now observe a scale of semitones,
called the CHROMATIC scale.
Ex: The intervals of the contiguous

notes are all semitones.
N.B. The LONG keys of the Piano-Forte, or Harpsichord, are commonly called the NATURAL keys, tho'they
ocassionally serve for SHARPS and FLATS; and the SHORT keys, are called SHARPS and FLATS, being only used for
SHARP and FLAT notes.

Now if a SHARP be placed before C, thus: the note is called C SHARP; and it is found on the
instrument between C NATURAL, and D NATURAL; being one of the SHORT keys: D SHARP is the SHORT key between
D, and E; but between E, and F, ther is no SHORT key; nor is it wanted: for the INTERVAL between E and F, is but a
semitone; and therefore when we want E SHARP, we strike the key generally called F NATURAL. F SHARP will be
found between F NATURAL, and G NATURAL: G SHARP between G and A NATURAL: A SHARP between A and B

NATURAL: and B SHARP is under the same predicament as E SHARP; we therefore strike C NATURAL for it.
The flat placed before a note, lowers it a semitone or half-tone: and if the note is a B, to which the FLAT is
prefixed, it is then called B FLAT; and it is found between B NATURAL, and A NATURAL, being one of the SHORT
keys.
=====General rule: every FLAT is found by going one semitone LOWER; that is, toward the left-hand: and every

SHARP, contrariwise, by going one semitone HIGHER; that is, toward the right-hand.
The double SHARP raises the note TWO semitones; and therefore, if it be F double SHARP, we strike G NATURAL;

etc.
The double FLAT lowers the note TWO semitones; and therefore, we go as much to the LEFT for a double FLAT,

as we did to the RIGHT for a double SHARP.
The NATURAL takes away the effect of a SHARP, or a FLAT; whether single, or double. And , or , REINSTATES
the single sharp, or flat.
The Pupil must by this time have observed, that is struck by the SAME key as and
by the SAME key as etc.
Now, the inconveniency of charging to memory with the VARIOUS uses of the SAME keys, is but small; when
compared with the impracticableness of performing on an instrument, furnished with keys, PERFECTLY
corresponding with every flat, and sharp, single or double, which composition may require: a method therefore,
has been adopted in tuning, called TEMPERAMENT, which, by a small deviation from the truth of every interval,

EXCEPT THE OCTAVE , renders the instrument capable of satisfying the ear in EVERY key.
When a SHARP is placed close to the clef thus it affects every F throughout the piece; except where
the sharp is contradicted by the natural.
N.B. The same rule holds, when there are two or more sharps at the clef; every one affecting its corresponding
note.
When a FLAT is placed by the clef it affects every B throughout the piece; except where the flat is
contradicted by the natural.
N.B. The same rule holds, when there are two or more flats at the clef; every one affecting its corresponding
note.
When a sharp, flat, or natural is prefixed to a note, in the course of a piece, it affects all the following notes of
the SAME NAME , contained in the SAME BAR : it is then called an ACCIDENTAL sharp, flat, or natural.

VARIOUS OTHER MARKS.

The pause or renders the NOTE longer AT PLEASURE ; and in certain cases, the composer
only lengthens, AT PLEASURE,

expects some EMBELLISHMENTS from the performer; but the pause on a rest

the SILENCE.
The SIGN or REPEAT is a reference to a passage, or strain, to which the performer is to return: the Italian
words, AL SEGNO or DAL SEGNO , denote such a return.
The double bar marks the end of a strain; or the conclusion of a piece.
The DOTTED bars denote the repeat of the foregoing, and following strain.
N.B. The second part of a piece, if VERY LONG, is seldom repeated; notwithstanding the DOTS.
When the bars are marked thus or then the strain, only on the side of the DOTS is
to be repeated.

MUSIC NOTATION 15
STYLE, GRACES, AND MARKS OF EXPRESSION, ETC.

The best general rule, is to keep down the keys of the instrument, the FULL LENGTH of very note; for when the
contrary is required, the notes are marked either thus:

called in ITALIAN, STACCATO; denoting

DISTINCTNESS, and SHORTNESS of sound; which is produced by lifting the finger up, as soon as it has struck the
key: or they are marked thus

which, when composers are EXACT in their writing, means LESS

staccato than the preceding mark; the finger, therefore, is kept down somewhat longer: or thus

which means STILL LESS staccato: the nice degrees of MORE and LESS, however, depend on the CHARACTER, and

PASSIONof the piece; the STYLE of which must be WELL OBSERVED by the performer. The notes marked thus
called LEGATO in Italian, must be played in a SMOOTH and CLOSE manner; which is done by
keeping down the first key, 'till the next is struck; by which means, the strings VIBRATE SWEETLY into one
another.
N.B. When the composer leaves the LEGATO, and STACCATO to the performer's taste; the best rule is, to adhere
chiefly to the LEGATO; reserving the STACCATO to give SPIRIT occasionally to certain passages, and to set off the
HIGHER BEAUTIES of the LEGATO.

This mark prefixed to a chord signifies, that the notes must be played SUCCESSIVELY, from the
lowest; with more or less velocity, as the sentiment may require; keeping each note DOWN 'till the time of the
chord be filled up.

Chords marked thus are played as the preceding chords, with the addition of a note WHERE

the oblique line is put, as if written thus
but the additional note is not to be kept down.

Decrescendo, or decres: GRADUALLY SOFTER; the same as the following; viz:
Diminuendo, or dim: thus GRADUALLY SOFTER. N.B. this last mark often denotes an
EMPHASIS, where it is WIDEST, and then DIMINISHING.
This mark means to SWELL and DIMINISH.

in various ways.

The APPOGGIATURA is a GRACE prefixed to a note, which is always played LEGATO, and with more or less
EMPHASIS; being derived from the ITALIAN verb APPROGGIARE, to lean upon; and it is written in a SMALL note. Its
LENGTH is borrowed from the following LARGE note; and in GENERAL, it is half of its duration; MORE or LESS,
however, according to the EXPRESSION of the passage.

The BEAT

The LENGTH of the BEAT is determined, like that of the other graces, by the circumstances of the passage.

semitone or a whole tone:
( (

Ex:

But when the beat, is on the FIRST note of a passage, or, when it follows a note, whose interval is GREATER than
a SECOND, it should be made with a semitone; as the following examples will show.
( (
Examples thus thus
Lastly, let us remark, that the beat is seldom used in modern music.
MAJOR AND MINOR MODES OR KEYS; VULGARLY CALLED SHARP AND FLAT KEYS.
The FUNDAMENTAL note, called the TONIC or KEY-NOTE, of a composition is either in the MAJOR, or MINOR mode.
An exposition of the scale in each MODE, will best explain their essential difference.

The first DIFFERENCE, which strikes the eye, is, that in the MAJOR-KEY , the semitone lies between the 3 and 4

6 . Authors vary, however, in regard to the 6 and 7 of the MINOR mode.
The ESSENTIAL and IMMUTABLE difference, therefore, between the MAJOR and MINOR key, is the interval of the
d d
3 , which differs by a SEMITONE; for if we analyse the 3 in the MAJOR-SCALE, it will be found to contain two whole
tones; or four semitones:

Now, the LAST, and if a chord, the LOWEST note of the bass, in every REGULAR composition, is the KEY-NOTE ; let

the contents then of the first FULL bar be examined, (treble and bass); where, if the 3 be major, the piece is said

N.B. Sometimes a composition in the MINOR mode may have a MAJOR ending; for which reason, it is safer to
examine the beginning, in order to determine the MODE.
Let the Pupil remember, that the NATURAL major-key is C; and the NATURAL minor-key is A; which latter is
called the RELATIVE MINOR to the former; and that every MAJOR-KEY has its RELATIVE MINOR in the same
proportion, namely one tone and semitone UNDER; as will be shown in the collection of scales.

The DEGREE of velocity in every composition is ascertained by some ITALIAN word or words prefixed to it: as
ADAGIO, POCO ALLEGRO , etc. We shall annex a list of the terms mostly in use; beginning by the SLOWEST degree,
which is ADAGIO; and gradually proceeding to the QUICKEST, which is PRESTISSIMO.
_______________________________________
1 ADAGIO 6 ANDANTINO 11 MAESTOSO 16 SPIRITOSO

2 GRAVE 7 ANDANTE 12 CON COMMODO 17 CON BRIO
3 LARGO 8 ALLEGRETTO 13 ALLEGRO 18 CON FUOCO
4 LENTO 9 MODERATO 14 VIVACE 19 PRESTO
5 LARGHETTO 10 TEMPO GIUSTO 15 CON SPIRITO 20 PRESTISSIMO
Various other terms are sometimes added to the preceding, in order to MODIFY or extend their meaning, as:
NON TROPPO ALLEGRO , not too quick etc.
We shall subjoin some of the most common, with their explanation.

MOLTO, DI MOLTO , or ASSAI, very. NON TROPPO , not too much. UN POCO , a little. QUASI , almost. PIù, more.
MENO, less. PIù TOSTO, rather. SEMPRE, always. MA, but. CON, with. SENZA, without.
MINUETTO A TEMPO DI BALLO, dancing-minuet time.
To determine more particularly the style of performing, some of the following terms are also used: MESTO, or
FLEBILE, in a melancholy style. CANTABILE, in a singing and graceful manner. AFFETTUOSO, in an affecting and
tender manner. GRAZIOSO, in a graceful and elegant manner. CON MOTO, with a certain degree of vivacity.
BRILLANTE, with brilliancy and spirit. AGGITATO, agitated; with passion and fire. CON ESPRESSIONE, or
CON ANIMA, with expression; that is, with passionate feeling; where every note has its peculiar force and energy;
and where even the severity of time may be relaxed for extraordinary effects. SCHERZANDO, in playful and light
manner. SOSTENUTO, to sustain, or hold on, the notes their full length. TENUTO, or abbreviated thus, TEN: to
hold a note its full length. A TEMPO, in strict time. AD LIBITUM, at pleasure or discretion, with regard to time;
introducing in certain cases an embelishment. TEMPO PRIMO, or PRIMO TEMPO, in the original time.
RALLENTANDO or RITARDANDO, gradually slackening the time.
SMORZANDO, MORENDO or PERDENDOSI, extinguishing gradually the sound, 'till it be almost lost. CALANDO,
or MANCANDO, diminishing by degrees the sound, or slackening almost imperceptibly the time; or both.
DA CAPO, abbreviated thus: D.C., to return to, and end with, the first strain. VOLTI SUBITO or V.S. turn over
quickly. The LATIN word BIS, means TWICE; it is generally placed over a passage within a curve line, which
denotes the extent of the repeat.
FINGERING
To produce the BEST EFFECT, by the EASIEST MEANS, is the great basis of the art of fingering. The EFFECT, being
of the highest importance, is FIRST consulted; the WAY to accomplish it is then devised; and THAT MODE of
fingering is PREFERRED which gives the BEST EFFECT, tho' not always the easiest to the performer. But the
combinations of notes being almost infinite, the art of fingering will best be taught by examples.
PRELIMINARY DIRECTIONS
The hand and arm should be held in a horizontal position; neither depressing nor raising the wrist: the seat
should therefore be adjusted accordingly. The fingers and thumb should be placed over the keys, always ready to
strike; bending the fingers in, more or less in proportion to their length. All unnecessary motion must be
avoided.
Let the pupil now begin to practise, SLOWLY at first, the following passage; observing to keep down the first key
'till the second has been struck, and so on.
The 1 is for the thumb, and 2, 3, 4, 5, for the succeeding fingers.

The majority of the preceding passages for the right hand can be used for the same exercise with the left hand,
by the ingenuity and industry of the pupil, which is very advantageous.
PRELUDES AND LESSONS
To preserve the order of keys, some of the difficult are intermixed with the easy lessons: but the pupil must
practise the easiest first. Viz: No.1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, etc.
