Almost Every forClassical Guitar
by
David PockneeA compendium of
almost every playable chord of 1-6 notes
solely containing the note Eand consisting of �ngered pitches or natural harmonics.
There are 319 chords in total, drawn from a corpus of over 7000 possible (playable and non-playable) combinations,
based on an initial set of 17 single-note iterations of the note E playable on the guitar
as �ngered pitches or natural harmonics.

...a work form
ally structured around sine waves...the com
plexity of the piece arises from the gulf betw
een discrete and continuous data..... I came up w
ith the idea for an all-E guitar piece in 2010 - I’m glad it’s out of m
y head....`
This score was designed for B4 size paper
The guitar part consists of four staves: - the top stave shows whether the chord should be played sul ponticello or sul tasto- the second stave shows the rhythm of the piece- the third stave shows the chords to be played- the bottom stave indicates the dynamics to be used for each chord.
All chords are playable, although some are on the borderline of playability. If any are truly unplayable due to guitar/hand shape, then as many notes as possible from the chord should be played.If there are any insurmountable troubles in cleanly executing the faster sections of the piece, the initial tempo (and, thus, the tempi of the entire piece) may be lowered to the point at which these passages become playable.
This score contains two versions of the piece, one in which the pitch content is written in standard, �ve line notation, and one in which it is written in guitar tabulature. The performer can choose to play from whichever version they prefer.
This piece has no progamme note and none should be printed when it is performed.
TOP STAVEThe top stave indicates where on the strings the chord should be plucked. If the coloured bar extends all the way from the top of the stave to the bottom, this indicates the chord should be played extreme sul tasto, and if the bar is minimally extended, this indicates that the chord should be played extreme sul ponticello, with all positions in between linearly mapped onto the strings. In places where the instructions on this stave prevent the sounding or equal voicing of a chord, the closest position in which this is not an issue should be utilised.
SECOND STAVEThe second stave indicates the rhythms the player should be counting in their head in order to calculate the placement of each chord - these rhythms should not sound.This stave uses two lines of rhythms in order to allow rhythms from one line to be nested into those on the other line, and back again, creating a slowly shifting and inaudible set of metric modulations.All rhythmic notation on this stave is proportional.In several places the tempo is given in brackets, in order to assist in rehears-ing the piece.
THIRD STAVEThis stave simply indicates the chords to be played.All notation of harmonics indicates the �ngered, not sounding, pitch.String speci�cations for each note are mandatory, not optional.Dotted lines indicate the relationship between the rhythmic and pitch staves Where a chord is linked with a beat, it should be played on that beat and left to ring until it decays or another note is played.All chords should be left to ring for as long as is practical.
BOTTOM STAVEThe bottom stave indicates the dynamic level to be used for each chord.The dynamic level of each chord should be balanced so that each note in the chord is of equal volume.Dynamics are represented in a bar-chart style, with the height of each bar indicating the total volume of the balanced chord.The scale for these bars ranges between:- lowest line = the quietest possible volume at which all notes in the chord can be dynamically balanced.- highest line = the loudest possible volume at which all notes in the chord can be dynamically balanced.The colours of the bars are solely for ease of reading.
This piece is a companion piece to the work “Every”, which consists of every playable chord of 1-6 notes solely containing the note E and consisting of �ngered pitches or natural harmonics and which is conceptu-
ally perfect but unplayable and utilizes inaccurate perceptual models.
