This two-and-a-half minute miniature is Kleynjans's opus 244 and shines a little more brightly than some of this most famous guitar composer's other small offerings. Its dedicatee is Roman Viasovsky, a Ukrainian virtuoso and winner of many competitions including the GFA in Montreal. I haven't heard or read through the other two habaneras but if they are similar to this then a player with a good mid-grade technique should have ample means to tackle it.
In D minor and major, its chief melody and bassline form a six-over-four pattern i.e. in 4/4 with six triplet crotchets over four regular beats, so not the traditional 2/4 habanera. The good old guitar-friendly key of D and the haunting refrain would make this a charming nugget to add to any repertoire.
