The Evening Bell (Granados)

I'm pleased to announce a new arrangement for solo guitar - it's Evening Bell (one of the Bocetos) by Granados.

Originally for piano, this piece fits the guitar so well, and in this arrangement, the sound of the Evening Bell switches between conventional notes and the pure bell-like octave harmonic.
