I wish to thank him for his efforts in tabbing this excellent piece - Are you there Alessandro? The piece is fairly easy to play, except for the second half of section C which has some tricky fingering. If this part poses too much of a problem, it would be possible to simplify it by changing the bass notes. Play the piece at a quick tempo. Bensusan damps the bass strings while keeping the treble strings open and clear, which can be a little awkward. Persevere! It's a fun piece to play. Bracketed notes are optional. Sections with four lines of tab are simply two lines repeated, with minor changes at the ends of the second two lines. As always, listen to the recording if you get the opportunity. I hope to transcribe "Cunla", the jig that Bensusan follows on with, sometime soon. Has anyone had a go at this already? Comments, suggestions etc., please mail me. Enjoy! Part A: .
