    Notes and Legend
    ----------------
    "The performer of Postcards from Spain will find it impossible to sustain every note for its written value. Neverthless, it is always possible to communicate the composer's intention, and therefore the score is presented in this edition as Thea Musgrave wrote it, and as she hopes the listener will imagine it, rather
    than as a precise depiction of the literal sound that one performer might produce. The ears fo the listener, rather then the fingers of the performer, guide the fingering. This means that in the first serenade, Cantaor,
    for example, repeated notes are fingered on adjacent strings rather then on one string. If instead, the notes were simply played on one string, which would be easier for the performer, the sound might not be so interesting. Whilst this fingering is a model that pleases the composer and the editor, the score is presented as the composer conceived it, and other fingerings are possible."
    - Michael Lorimer (editor)

    Suggested duration: 2 min 35 sec

    *The tab stays as close to the sheet fingering as possible, but many notes meant
    to be held throughout a measure are cut off by other notes played on the same string, or played many frets higher or lower.

    measure 1 - the sheet has a barre on the 10th fret(??), the first chord as
    half notes, and the rundown is on the 1st string (not the 2nd)

    just before the main note, then immediately released - the following

    h - hammer-on
