    Note

    Premiered under the co-leadership of Udo Kasemets and the Cuban guitarist Leo Brouwer in 1975 at the International Guitar Conference.

    Note

    Note on cover page reads: "Although most participants in this [the premiere] performance were classical guitarists, the score allows, or rather encourages, the participation of guitarists of many persuasions: folk, rock, jazz, country western, flamenco, classical, etc. A natural for an 'amateur' event.
