musical score, music, note, staff

About this kanji

The kanji 譜, pronounced 'fu', primarily means a musical score or sheet music, but it can also refer to a table or list. It is typically used as a noun rather than a verb. Common compounds include 楽譜 (がくふ), which means 'musical score', and 譜面 (ふめん), referring to 'sheet music'. Another interesting compound is 系譜 (けいふ), meaning 'genealogy', showing the kanji's versatility beyond music. You might also encounter 新譜 (しんぷ), which signifies 'newly released music'. Note that while this kanji is related to music, its usage can extend into other areas like recording historical lineages.

Example sentences

• 音楽の譜面を解読した。

  I decoded the music sheet.
