Boceto Andaluz - Bartolome Calatayud
   Calatayud's from Spain. Born in the late
1800's and composed up til the 1950's or 60's.
He's about my third or 4th favorite classical
guitar composer of all times. I think it goes
Fernando Carulli, Johan Sebastian Bach, 
Bartolome Calatayud, Fernando Sor. I like 
Manuel Ponce a lot but he was much more of a
pianist than a guitarist.

Prelude - Fernando Carulli
I've written much about Carulli at my classical 
guitar webpage. http://www.frucht.org/carulli.html

Caramba - Calatayud
Estampa Gitana - Calatayud 
Lamento Gitano - Calatayud 
Theme and Variation - Carulli
  I believe he scored this, but the theme 
  was a Beethoven piece for piano. 

Vals - Calatayud 
Mozart - Carulli. From a book called "gitarschule" 
written in the late 1700s. Each page has three 
languages, French, English and German. I found 
a lot of adventurous literature in this book.

Grand Etude - Carulli. Another study from that 
book. He probably composed this one himself. It 
sounds a lot like a Sonata that I'm working on 
which he also penned.

Rondo Allegro - Carulli. 

As you can "see" in this CD my two favorite styles 
for guitar so far are Spanish and Italian. With 
Italian I tend to lean AWAY from classic and more 
toward "parlour" but with Spanish I lean away from 
flamenco and toward a more rigid classic or technique 
oriented sound. I don't dislike Flamenco, but I'd 
prefer to hear it than play it.

Some of my more folky, punk and pop stuff can be 
sampled at: http://www.frucht.org
