Description

Originally composed for alto sax, these two dances, arranged by Marco Rizo, may be performed with or without piano accompaniment. The first is dedicated to Antonio Lauro and the second to Ernesto Lecuona. They are both quick and challenging, with the first piece ascending to D5, but very catchy and fun to play.
