My hobby (apart from science)

Becoming a master of flamenco guitar is my unfulfilled dream.

My favourite composers and performers: Sabicas and Juan Martin.
If you dispose of any sheetmusic for flamenco guitar, that would have a quality comparable to that of the pieces of the above guitarists, please contact me. It's really hard to get flamenco pieces of professional quality. I have been looking for years for the sheetmusic of "Malaguena" by Ernesto Lecuona, as performed by Sabicas or John Williams. With no success so far. Also, the record "Luna Negra" by Juan Martin contains lots of perfect pieces I'd like to play, but they do not seem to be published.

The examples included here are some other of my favourite Spanish guitar pieces (although not pure flamenco).  

 Recuerdos de la Alhambra /F. Tarrega 
 Leyenda /I. Albeniz
 Malaguena (Rumores de la Caleta) /I. Albeniz          
 El Testamento d' Amelia /Anon.
 Filla del Marxant /Anon.                      
 El noy de la Mare /Anon.
 Danza Espagnola No. 2 /E. Granados       
 Danza Espagnola No. 5 /E.Granados
