Having said that, this piece doesn't sound quite 'finished'. The original edition, called "Vals", appears to have been published by Ildefonso Alier after Tarrega had died (based on its catalogue number, 5627). In it, the piece ends at measure 66 in the key of G major, which is unusual as it would be expected to return to its opening key of D major. (Modern editions return to the start and end at measure 32.) However measure 50 is at least an ending of sorts; even David Russell seems to struggle to make his ending at measure 32 sound final. Stranger is the unexpected modulation at measure 44, which some praise, but to my mind is more likely to be the result of one or more missing measures! (Weed, June 2021) The order of play is 0-16, 1-16, 17-32, 17-32, 33-49, 34-48, 50-51, 1-15, 17-32. left hand fingering below the tab - 1 - index finger 2 - middle finger 3 - ring finger 4 - little finger === - note held, length of note, duration arp. - arpeggiate - ripple upwards using the thumb from the lowest note to the highest note D.C. - Da Capo - go back to the start of the piece Ferm. - Fermata - pause, note(s) held FINE - end (of the piece) (al FINE - continue to FINE, then end) g - grace note (ornament) - extra note(s) played immediately before (or at the same time as) the main note, then immediately released - the following note is usually played as a hammer-on, pull-off, or slide h - hammer-on p - pull-off <7> - natural (open) harmonic on the 7th fret c1 - part barre on the 1st fret c2 - part barre on the 2nd fre [etc] repeat the play the 1st & 2nd time play the 3rd time section 1 2 _______________________ 3_______________________ |--- ---| |---------------------------| ---|-----------------------| |--- ---| |---------------------------| ---|-----------------------| |*-- --*| |--------------------------*| --*|-----------------------| |*-- --*| |--------------------------*| --*|-----------------------| |--- ---| |---------------------------| ---|-----------------------| |--- ---| |---------------------------| ---|-----------------------| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the latest version of this tab can be found at http://www.classtab.org if you come across any mistakes please let me know - weed@wussu.com
