Solo Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.946416 By Manuel de Falla. By Manuel de Falla. Arranged by Nick Mordal. 20th Century,Classical,Folk,Latin,Romantic Period. Individual part. 1 pages. Nick Mordal #6294915. Published by Nick Mordal (A0.946416). 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.Â
