This innocuous looking transcription holds several technical points. A light staccato, created by either hand has to be obtained. The beginning of the second section requires legato playing. At places marked 1 the bass strings must be damped (I use the right hand but as long as you listen carefully any technique might be acceptable). The trills at 2 begin on the lower note as this is a classical trill, not the baroque trill which guitarists are now most familiar with. —M.G.
Martin Grayson has supplied the above information about the music; adventurous players may like to try my alternative fingering for bar 9. This avoids the “leap” from E to B with 4.
