Ganassi Fontegara Numbered (GFN)

# Introducing GFN: A catalogue number for Sylvestro Ganassi´s Fontegara (Venice, 1535) A system for precisely locating items in Fontegara to facilitate research, analysis, and practical use of its contents. GFN stands for Ganassi’s Fontegara Numbered Computation of: Persons, instruments and books in the frontispiece Fingerings Embellishments contained in the Regole Other examples of embellishments Total: 2855 items in 158 pages (leaving aside the 175 hand-written cadences contained in the Fontegara book preserved in Wolfenbüttel. See below for a proposal of nomenclature). Numbering system: A simple system from 1–2855 (GFN 2855 is actually GFN 288b: see errata below), without making distinctions about their location in the book or type of content (exception: the three part-books in the woodcut, numbered b1–b3, which were an afterthought). Location: GFN numbers are normally located below the numbered item, except for a few cases in which this could result in problems of readability. In such cases, the GFN number appears on top of it: GFN 400, 899, 1274, 1277, 1318, 1367, 1376, 1634, 1680, 1682, 1719 [cont.], 1727 [cont.], 1851, 2147, 2148, 2150, 2153, and 2825.

See errata on fontegara.com) ## About the edited examples transcribed into modern notation This PDF, raw edition of Fontegara, is part of my Fontegara Working Kit. It contains all the musical examples in Fontegara (from GFN 131 to GFN 2828), including the 175 originally handwritten cadences. Here are some details from https://vicenteparrilla.itch.io/fontegara-pdf “Fontegara musical examples, written in modern notation. Just as page layout was not a primary concern when producing the initial Finale files, this PDF version lacks a proper page layout in its current version. The main reason to include it is to enhance readability: it will increase accessibility to Fontegara contents for many people. After all, it is easy to obtain from the Finale files. Therefore, do not expect fancy-looking music scores here, just the plain notes with some ficta alterations.” Read about the GFN numbering system: https://fontegara.com/projects/numbering-ganassis-works Know more about the Fontegara Working Kit and download Fontegara in MUSX (Finale), XML, MIDI, PDF, and MP3 formats: https://vicenteparrilla.com/blog/fontegara-working-kit
