Now here is something you don't find too often: a key signature consisting of a Bb and an F#, together with a direction to tune string 2 to Bb, Whilst adding a certain difficulty factor this slightly unsettling pair of directions does not in the end make it too hard to play. The key centre is one essentially of E minor with a foreign Bb in almost constant presence. Starting with declamatory octaves it then settles into a triplet quaver idea with a tremolo Bb as its basis, The triplets soon turn to semiquavers and thence to sextuplet semiquavers as the excitement factor mounts throughout the first few minutes. A climax brings a return to the opening octave idea, subtly changed before a lontano quaver idea in the bass heralds in a harmonic melody which in turn leads into a final Tempo I and a return to the octave theme. A final E/Bb pairing of bass notes brings the work to a close. Not as hard to play as it first appears, this little work is quite entertaining and passes a pleasant three or four minutes. If the slightly exotic thematic ideas appeal to anyone, then this little work is definitely one for them. Chris Dumigan (Classical Guitar) [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTEF64OBxDE[/embed]
