Schule für die Guitare, Übungsstück 12 - Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856) (School for the Guitar, Exercise 12) tabbed according to the original edition (Boije Collection 1136) http://www.muslib.se/ebibliotek/boije/pdf/Boije%201136.pdf Tabs and Fingering by Norbert Neunzling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0V3ooIZEGA This is an exact tab from the original edition. The repeat seems to be intended from the beginning, but a possible variation (keeping in line with the structure of Übung 10) is to repeat from bar 9 with an anacrusis* (introduction) of 2 eighth notes (the last 2 notes of bar 8). This is the way i play it in my YouTube video.
