El Decameron Negro - 2. Huida De Los Amantes Por El Valle De Los Ecos
By Leo Brouwer
Tabbed by Scott Erickson (axeman1033@aol.com)
See key at bottom for notes on techniques
This is a great song, but extremely difficult. The time signature
changes almost every measure. The timing for most of the song is
really loose, there are a lot of held notes. The time signatures
are not very strict, except in the Echo Melody part.

The rest of this section consists of a bass melody over the triplet
treble part as in the above measures. This part is supposed to sound
like a melody then an echo, that is why the dynamics are indicated.
The treble part is omitted for the rest of the section, play the treble
part identically as above.
