Brief introduction by Guitar Orchestra opens the music, and the solo guitar exhibits 2 themes in E minor. One is my original theme relating to "Fantaisie Elegiaque, Op.59" by Spanish great guitarist/composer, Fernand Sor. The other is a famous study in B minor (here in E minor) by Sor.

Second theme is quoted from Sor's Op.44-3 (original key is C major), that is filled with happiness and beauty of guitar. Personaly, I like this charming short piece very much. Solo guitar, exhibiting this melody, leads the guitar orchestra to a chorus.

The development consists of vityuous solo guitar's Cadenza and powerful guitar orchestra. And the music comes back to sad E minor, then we remind of that touching funeral march of Op.59.
