(…One of the things that immediately caught my eyes was a composition for guitar, variations on the Follies d’Espagne by one François de Fossa, a composer whose name I have never heard before.

The second variation of the set was a piece of music which I have known all my life as an original Etude de Campanelas by Francisco Tárrega…)
