Nocturno - Federico Moreno Torroba (1891-1982) Tablature by Greg Boland - bolandgreg@hotmail.com I haven't learned this piece so the transcription hasn't been stress tested yet. I have proof-read it a couple of times and feel pretty confident that the fingerings are accurate. It is an interesting piece that is harder than it looks.
