Study In A Minor
This is a simple but effective song. It is simple one of the most
famous etudes (spanish for "study") by Dionisio Aguado. It is in the key
of A minor and is in 2/4 time. It could easily be in 4/4 but the accents
would be in the wrong place. Each note represents a sixteenth note (with
the exception of the two quarter notes in the song denoted by a "q" above
the note) and the accent should be on 1 and 2. You can see the
greater-than symbols ('>') below the 1st and 2nd beat of the first few
measures. Then it says "sim." which stands for simile which means "keep
on doing that all throughout the song unless otherwise directed".
