Barber’s Adagio 4 strings (from Platoon) Harmonica Tabs

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.
