| Added by alastair-lewis, 19 Sep 2011 This very contrapuntal piece has a duration of 1 minute. The key signature is d major. The time signature is 3/4 and the tempo is allegro moderato. This arrangement is for violin and cello duet. Dionisio Aguado was born in Madrid. His surname is derived from a Spanish word for soaked, which was originally a nickname for an ancient relative, a knight, who returned from a battle caked in mud! In the Aguado's time, tablature was still the notation of choice for Spanish guitarists, Aguado adopted the new staff notation being used by Frederico Moretti and his followers like Fernando Sor. He published a guitar tutor "Escuela de Guitarra" in Madrid, this was later translated into French. In 1825 Aguado left for Paris where he became successful as a teacher. He was friendly with Fernando Sor, and Sor commemorated the friendship in his work for guitar duet Les Deux Amis ("The Two Friends"). | |||
