Samuel Barber - Barber's Adagio for strings great piece. I've tabbed the 1st violin. I like it in D but you can do it also in C as well as others I suppose. This is not the whole song. I've only tabbed the first 3 minutes and 16 seconds as it later traverses a few octaves or watever. This first part is the most famous bit. ... means hold note for a very long time . means hold note briefly longer than other notes check MIDI for timing and such.
