Thanks to
Stefano Grondona, this
unknown and unedited
transcription by
Tárrega in G major of
Albéniz' Cádiz,
known widely as the
Célebre Serenata
Española has just been
identified in a
manuscript copied by
Miguel Llobet, probably
while he was still
Tárrega's pupil. This
beautiful and subtle
transcription is not
overcomplicated to play,
Tárrega did not try to
do everything, as some
later transcribers have
attempted to do. The
melody sings and the
accompaniment is subtly
always there. The tuning
with 5th string to G, and
6th to D, is no hindrance
- on the contrary it is a
boon. We are not aware of
any published version of
this work in G major, and
this particular version
has never been published
until now. We are
delighted to make it
available for the first
time in a new scholarly
edition prepared from
Llobet's meticulously
accurate manuscript, a
copy of which is
reproduced in the
edition.
