Bulerias for Two Guitars

Description

You can hear this music here:

Composing music, like all the arts, is an intensive preoccupation requiring endless hours of work with a constant focus on myriad details, while the brain evaluates their suitability.
This is a marked-up page from a piece I wrote for two guitars. There are notes on rhythm and accents, fingering and string numbers, what frets to barre, as well as thoughts about layout and recording.
The bulerías is a 12-beat form of Spanish flamenco with ancient roots that is very different from Western music, as it is influenced by Asian, Middle Eastern, and North African traditional styles that have no currency in the corporate music market.
It has taken me decades to master this musical form. This piece is an example of my efforts.
I also like it as an unconsciously created graphic.

I'll send you a synth version when I find it soon.
The bulerias, Richard, is the secret of flamenco.
