高音譜號 Treble Clef

高音譜號,又稱為G譜號,原本在樂譜上只是一個英文草書的G字。後來經過不同作曲家、抄譜人的「性格演釋」(去搜搜各大作曲家的手稿,你就會明白),這個G字漸漸演變成今天大家都熟悉的高音譜號。正因為這是一個很常見、太常見的音樂符號,即使我從前見到它、畫了它成千上萬遍,我卻從來沒有認真地看過它。直到我決定去做一個高音譜號的花紐,在搜集資料時才發現,原來要找一個令我心生喜愛的高音譜號並不容易。最後,在一位音樂符號字體專家的IG(IG: musicaltypography)找到了讓我喜歡的高音譜號--圓潤中帶點活潑、中心的曲線又令它看起來特別婀娜,即使把它放大幾十倍,它的線條仍然是那麼優美,讓我百看不厭。

Treble clef, or G clef, originally was just a simple letter G written on the score. It slowly evolved into its current shape – after million times of handwriting by musicians and scribes. The treble clef I chose is discovered by a music typography specialist IG (IG: musicaltypography) from an old Finnish songbook. Compared to the common (and boring) treble clef, its round and beautiful curved line make it looks very pleasant and charming.
