This volume includes transcriptions, comments and analysis of the following pieces:
The tangos "Vivencias", Recorded for three guitars but adaptable for a solo or duet. In the "Commentary and suggestions" section the key of F#Hijaz ( por taranta) is explained, along with the characteristics of modern tangos and the pattern for " tangos arrumbaos ." The accompaniment to the cante , which is arranged for two guitars, is transcribed in its entirety.
The soleá "Calle Fabié". This very long soleá , which lasts more than nine minutes, is a masterly review of the art of composing in this palo , which is undoubtedly Rafael Riqueni's strongest.
The taranta "Alcázar de cristal" is a gorgeous guitar solo, a true gem in the repertory of any guitarist.
Each volume includes:
Transcription of each piece in notation and tab with complete both hands fingerings
