      Violin Text-Book Containing The Rudiments And Theory Of Music Specially Adapted To The Use Of Violin Students - M. C. Wickins

      INDEX

      WICKINS’

      VIOLIN TEXT-BOOK.

      CHAPTER I.

      NAMES OF NOTES—LINES AND SPACES—THE STAVE—CLEFS—THE GRAND STAFF—LEGER LINES AND SPACES.

      1. Musical sounds are expressed by means of characters called notes.

      These notes are named after the first seven letters of the alphabet, viz.—

      A, B, C, D, E, F, G.

      2. The notes are written on five lines called a stave, and in the four spaces between those lines, thus:

      3. A sign called a clef is placed at the beginning of the stave to fix the name and position of one note on the stave, from which all the others may be calculated.

      4. There are three clefs:

      is the only one used for the Violin.

      is used for the Viola or Tenor Violin.

      is used for the Violoncello and Double Bass.

      5. The Treble or G Clef is placed on the second line of the stave, thus:

      and the notes then written are used for the highest voices and instruments.

      6. The Bass or F Clef is placed on the fourth line of the stave, thus:

      and the notes then written are for the Bass, or iowest voices and instruments.

      7. These Treble and Bass staves of five lines each really belong to what is called The Grand Staff of eleven lines.

      The Treble stave takes the five upper lines, the Bass stave the five lower lines; the sixth, or intervening line, is the one on which the C clef is placed. This C is that note nearest the middle of the pianoforte keyboard, called middle C, and from which the other notes are fixed.

      THE GRAND STAFF.

      Showing the three clefs in relation to each other.

      8. The following are the names of the notes (lines and spaces) in the three clefs, shown separately:

      TREBLE OR
