Classical Guitar Solo - Pavane by F.Tarrega
A very warm welcome to you for this continuation of pieces by the Spanish master Francisco Tarrega. For today's installment, we will be taking a look at Tarrega's "Pavane", which is one of many charming 'miniatures' penned by this prolific composer. In the instance, the Pavane follows an A-B-C structure with rhythmic pulse being in duple time. This could be notated in 2/4, but Tarrega's original manuscript is scored in 4/4 and I'm not going to argue with the master! Harmonically, the piece is nice and simple and the B section, as is often the case, modulates in the dominant direction with the C section completely outlining the change from the tonic to the dominant of the original key(E major). Ok, grab a nice cup of tea and watch the video and when you're ready head on over to Part 1!

OK, final section now. For the C section, Tarrega creates some nice tension by outlining the Dominant of the original key with ascending lines played with pizzicato, which I feel really adds to the tension...
