Art/Literary - Music | | German term or phrase: eingestrichen | | Zur Unterscheidung nennen wir ihn „eingestrichenes a“ oder „a’ “ (sprich „a eins“). Das a, welches dir bereits bekannt war, bekommt den Namen „kleines a“, geschrie-ben wird es einfach „a“. Diese Bezeichnungen hängen damit zusammen, dass es zwar sehr viele verschie-dene Töne, aber nur sieben Notennamen gibt: a, h, c, d, e, f, g, oder vom c aus: c, d, e, f, g, a und h. Danach kommt wieder ein c. Den Bereich zwischen zwei „c“ nennt man Oktave. Die Noten werden nach der Oktave benannt, in der sie stehen. |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseChristine Lam: 1:14am Sep 10, 2007: die Note steht übrigens im zweiten Zwischenraum
Kcda: 2:47am Sep 10, 2007: Wo? Auf der violine!? Falls man Violine spielt heisst es nicht eingestrichen? Beispiel: Die violine ist am oberschulter und man nimmt die (wass immer es heist) in den linken hand und spielt eingestrichen. Zu schnell gespielt bedeutet anschlag ist schlimm!
xxxFrancis Lee: 6:51am Sep 10, 2007: Context/readership? Is this for publication?
Christine Lam: 10:39am Sep 10, 2007: hi everyone, thanks for brainstorming. This text is part of a trumpet instruction book for beginners and I need a term that clearly differentiates the two a's

| lower/upper
Explanation:
Halo,
The lines above or below the staff used to determine the notes are called ledger lines; from my experience, all notes that lie within the staff or within the octave beginning from middle c are called just d,e,f,g,a,b. The rest are just called either upper/high (d,e,f,g,a,b) if you are ascending, or low b,a,g,f.. if you are descending.
I hope that helps!

p.s. even though those short lines/strokes are called ledger lines, we DON'T call the notes on them "ledger line a/b/c...."

The ITG Journal uses HD#1 (as have most people, apparently) where middle C is "one-line C" or c' (I had previously called this c-prime, as I have heard said.)
***So for trumpet***
Low C is C'
Middle C is C''
High C is C'''
Double high C is C''''
Triple high C is C'''''

Good luck!

Just to be clear:
So, your **eingestrichenes a**, or *a'* must be **one-line A** or **a-prime**, thus a" is a-double-prime, und so weiter.
Please ignore what I said about high or low because I was thinking in piano terms (yes I'm a pianist!)

Explanation:
When I began taking music theory lessons, my teacher would say "c prime," "c double prime," "c triple prime" if the notes were written c', c'', c''', etc.
