Original Repertoire for the Modern 10-String Guitar

 

Compiled, contributed, and with notes by Viktor van Niekerk

(vivanni@hotmail.com – comments, queries, additions, and corrections welcome)

 

 

Key to terms:

 

Modern (‘Yepes’) string configuration - Standard tuning:

[e’-b-g-d-A-E-C-A#-G#-F#]

[NB: Re-entry tuning of (8), (9) and (10)]

 

Modern ‘Alternative’ string configuration - Standard tuning:

e’-b-g-d-A-E-C-A#1-G#-F#

[NB: (8) is an octave lower than the Standard Modern/Yepes configuration]

 

Romantic (‘Baroque’) string configuration - Standard tuning:

e’-b-g-d-A-E-D-C-B1-A1

[No re-entry]

 

  Marlow string configuration:

standard tuning: e’-b-g-d-a-e-B-F#-C#-G#

[NB: re-entry tuning from (7) to (10).]

 

Different ‘string configurations’: When a work requires that at least one string be replaced by another with a thinner or thicker diameter (in order to be tuned as required), or when the standard order of the strings is necessarily altered, this constitutes a different ‘string configuration’.

 

Scordatura: Non-standard tuning, within the context of the specified string configuration

 

Other configurations’ tunings are indicated in the list, in conjunction with the work.

 

NB: All 6-string guitar music can be played on the 10-string guitar. This repertoire list is merely aimed at creating awareness of original compositions for the modern 10-string guitar.
