Notes
Romantic. 90measures. 3/4 time signature. 7 pages. key of A
Dance of The Miller from The Three Cornered Hat is a farruca in musical style and captures the essence of the
entire orchestra on the guitar. Manuel de Falla utilized the orchestra as a large guitar in this composition. It’s truly amazing how similar the orchestral and guitar transcriptions sound.
