This is the slow and melancholic part of the Falla ballet El Amor Brujo. The quiet intimacy of guitar serves it right. Techniques used in the arrangement include barre, stretching the left hand out of conventional positioning and precise string selection for the chord voicings. One of Manuel de Falla's composition specialties was in the realm of ballet music. Most of the pieces from the ballet are fast and rhythmic, but this one is different. It fits very nicely on guitar and has not been transposed. There are a few tricky spots to bring the melody out, and one awkward stretch at the beginning of the first phrase. But it really sounds great once you get the muscle memory built up.

Karel Arnoldus Craeyvanger (Utrecht, 1817-1868) was a Dutch composer, singer, violinist and guitarist. Only two of his guitar compositions are known to date, the Trois Nocturnes and the Introduction & Variations sur un thème de l’ópera Freischütz (Weber). One third piece, Fantasy on a Schubert’s Lied, mentioned in a recital program in 1865, remains unknown.
The Trois Nocturnes, composed and dedicated to Monsieur J. de Beyer, were published by Craeyvanger himself. Perhaps for this reason, the graphic quality of the original edition is poor, with some mistakes and inconsistencies.The minor mistakes were corrected and all fingerings are editorial. The 8vb marks, intended for guitar with additional basses are not original and therefore, optional.
