Memories of the Alhambra - by Tarrega

Can anyone tell me if this is where Mr Oldfield got Etude from.

Perhaps a spanish Fan knows??

Ray, why don't you ask me when you need anyone?

Off topic... sort-of :)... I always liked Mike's 'simplified' version of Tárrega's piece more than the original. The latter has always sounded to me like nothing more than a technical showpiece - something that you play to show off how good you are at a particular playing skill, which in that particular case is ribattuti, i.e. rapidly repeated notes. I think Mike's version makes the melody much clearer, and the melody IMHO is lovely. :)
