Caprice in D Minor - Matteo Carcassi (1792-1853)
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I have included the left (LH) and (RH) hand fingering.
p = pulgar = thumb
i = indice = index
m = medio = middle
a = anular = ring
Exercise: (p i m i a i m i)
Caprice is fairly easy to play and is a good work out for your fingers.
This song seems longer than it actually is. 31 Bars of which 11 bars is Dm. Actual
song is slower. I took the liberty and sped it up.
This pattern is identical to Giuliani's "Allergo".
[1] Dm Dm
