Six suites of progressive difficulty. Most pieces are one or two pages long and are intended to be played as mini-suites, giving the advancing student an opportunity to sustain longer concentration. Includes:
I. Garcia Lorca's Riddle 1. Seis Doncellas 0:43 2. Suenos 0:38 3. Doncellas 0:46 4. Redonda 0:55 -- exploring Spanish style harmonies and textures.
II. Friend of the Sand Winds The Tower 0:37 6. Angel on the Road 0:53 7. A Silence 1:28 8. Sand Winds 1:35 -- simple melody; fast ⅞ rhythms and simple shifting chords.
III. Orientale five continuous sections with ostinato basses, pizzicato, and strumming
IV. May Day Suite; four movements in a classical style
V. Single String Etudes II six pieces exploiting the melodic possibilities of shifting up and down one string while accompaniments are played on others; teaches shifting without complicated chords
VI. Good Winds for Dionisio Original theme and 11 variations, a homage to Aguado in a classical style. Starts very essay and end very hard: tremolo section, repeated im chords, arpeggios, etc.
