Study in E Minor - Francisco Tarrega

Valsa Serenata - Othon G. R. Filho

This etude unfolds over three sections similar to sonata form.  There is a brief introduction from the bass line, followed by a large, cheery section in A Major.  Suddenly, however, A Major gives way to A minor, and the music becomes more unpredictable as Coste begins developing the material.  Finally, after a long build up, the cheery A Major theme returns to end the piece on a high note (pun intended!).

The famous Bourree from Bach's so-called Lute Suite in E minor (turns out that Bach may have originally written these suites for the lute-harpsichord instead).  Although the tune is catchy and invokes toe-tapping, Bach's marvelous contrapuntal craft in the bass line elevates this piece beyond the kind of dance that merely amuses its listener.
