Despite the fact that the first images of the treble clef are found in medieval sources, and musicians still use this symbol to this day, tattoos with the image of this sign are not so common. The meaning of a treble clef tattoo is, in principle, intuitive, but it is still worth explaining some of the nuances, as well as considering options for stylistic and compositional solutions.
Symbolism
To begin with, it is worth explaining what the treble clef tattoo means for a girl is exactly the same as for a man. Society has already crossed that stage of development, at which it was important to separate people by gender. The art of tattooing also no longer knows such restrictions. So, what does the picture of a treble clef say about you?
- Professional music practice. If a hobby can be turned into a real job that brings not only income, but also pleasure, is this a reason to capture your success on your own body? Such a tattoo can often be seen on musicians. People who are wholeheartedly devoted to their profession, have found their life's work, strive to reach new heights in it. The one who completely surrenders to his passion, sooner or later achieves recognition. A treble clef tattoo can even become a talisman that brings good luck in creative endeavors.
- Love for music. Music gives inspiration, cheers up, calms, prompts reflection. It creates exactly the atmosphere that we need at the moment. A tattoo in the form of a treble clef speaks of a special attitude towards music. She occupies an important place in a person's life, she not only helps him relax after a hard day, but accompanies him everywhere.
- Creativity. The treble clef can also indicate not just a passion for music, but also creative ambitions in general. The person who has chosen such an image may be passionate about poetry, painting, or, for example, the art of photography. The treble clef in this case can act as a generalized symbol of creativity. His image indicates non-standard thinking, love of beauty.
Image of a treble clef in tattoo art
So, what does the treble clef tattoo mean, we found out, it remains to decide on the sketch. To do this, you need to solve three questions: come up with a tattoo plot, choose a style and place on the body.
Most often you can see treble clefs with a stave and notes. There can be countless options for such images: from realistic paper sheets on which any composition is recorded, to several dozen musical signs arranged so that together they form an image of a treble clef.
There are original works, which immediately show that in front of you is a creative person with an extraordinary imagination. It is quite possible to refer to such tattoos, for example, the image of a treble clef in the form of a plexus of tree branches, streaks of water or paint. Also periodically there are works in which the symbol wraps around a snake, treble clefs decorated with flowers and. Tattoos depicting musical instruments, headphones, players, microphones are also not uncommon.
As for the choice of style, pay attention to watercolor sketches. Watercolor is a very bright style, but at the same time soft, gentle and airy. Such works immediately attract the eye, evoke associations with freedom and lightness, because the image is not limited by clear contours.
The rebellious spirit is something without which many art forms would not exist today. Trash polka tattoos perfectly reflect the essence of rebellion in creativity. This style despises banality, adherence to generally accepted norms, it shows that even in the repulsive one can find something beautiful and unique, and this is precisely its essence. Trash polka tattoos look bright and spectacular, wide careless strokes of black and red paint will definitely catch the eye.
Both described styles, although they are gaining an increasing army of fans, are not among the most popular. Therefore, if you want to create a truly original and unique sketch, these styles will help achieve this goal.
The treble clef in its familiar form appeared in the sixteenth century, when instrumental music was born. But its prehistory began at the turn of the first and second millennium of our era. Then the Benedictine monk Guido from the city of Arezzo in the Italian province of Tuscany figured out how to record music using notes. To designate the sound, a symbol had to be invented.
The notes in their current style are the sole merit of Guido d'Arezzo. After him, the music recording system improved, but it was this monk who laid the foundations. At the beginning of the line, he wrote down the note with which the melody began. The letter G, denoting the note "salt", served as a prototype for the treble clef.
What is its function? Eleven can be placed on five rulers. The treble clef indicates on which ruler (second from the bottom) the “salt” of the first octave is located. The range of notes located on these five rulers when recorded with a treble clef is sufficient for most musical instruments. However, this is not suitable for everyone. There are instruments of very low and, on the contrary, very high sounding. If you record a melody for them, you will have to apply additional rulers. They can be below or above. When reading a melody from a sheet, this is very inconvenient. In order to record music for different instruments, the treble clef turned out to be of little use. Therefore, several more signs of this kind were invented. These are bass, alto, tenor and some other keys.
What is the difference between them? indicates where the note "fa" of the small (next down from the first) octave is located. It is in the second line from the top. The baritone is slightly higher than the bass, so the baritone clef places the same note on the middle ruler. The alto symbol places the note “to” of the first octave on the same line. Why is this happening? The fact is that the alto is higher than the baritone or tenor.
In total, eleven keys are currently used in practice. In the past, there were much more of them, but in the process of development of this, most of them disappeared as unnecessary. To record the highest (in the musical sense) sound, a soprano or treble clef is used. He places the note "to" the first octave on the first line from the bottom.
The treble clef is also not suitable for recording parts. For this, a special “neutral” symbol is used. After all, the concept of pitch means nothing. Here the main thing is the rhythm and volume. It is recorded in two versions.
In the first case, these are two thick parallel vertical lines, resting with their ends against the second and fourth lines of the stave, and in the second, an elongated rectangle, slightly not reaching the extreme lines.
The popularity of the treble clef as a musical symbol even caused a fashion for a tattoo. Among musicians, he is considered the personification of creativity and indicates that the owner of a fashionable tattoo belongs to people of art. But on the “zone” the “treble clef” tattoo can have a completely different meaning. She will bring a lot of trouble to a person who imprudently made himself a tattoo in the form of this musical symbol. As a rule, it is pricked by homosexuals.
However, the opinion of the criminal community regarding this tattoo was not completely settled. Therefore, depending on the place of application and graphic nuances, a treble clef can also mean that its owner led a cheerful, wild life in the wild. However, the price of a mistake in this case is too high, so more and more inhabitants of places of detention prefer not to get involved with a dubious tattoo.
In this article, we will look at the meaning of prison tattoos. As a rule, they can tell a lot to others.
Do you know that the practice of stigmatizing those who broke the law existed even in the Russian Empire? Then everyone who was sent to Siberia received in addition a special badge on the body.
