This is one of four such Danseries, two solo, one duet and one trio. This latest work is in two movements, and has many of the characteristics that one associates with Duarte, the biting wit, the off – kilter harmonies and of course everything utterly guitaristic from start to finish.
The opening Tango has a lovely crunchy opening with a slippery, semi- tonal melody dropping down underneath some biting harmonies. Nothing is as you might find in other composers, and there are many moments of exaggerated slides, just to give one humorous example, attached as always to the archetypical tango rhythms. It isn’t an easy piece at all, and your knowledge of the fingerboard has to be good and immediate, as you are literally chasing all over the fingerboard, on nearly all the strings throughout the whole movement.
The Tarantella that follows is a Vivo 6/8, and again leaves no place for dithering. It goes right from the outset and doesn’t let up until the final coda. Again the ‘wrong’ notes play an even greater part in this movement, and the difficulty factor as a result of all the dashing around is quite considerable.

In March 2019 I asked for help with editing, fingering and revising more than 20 works by my father, John W. Duarte. I was so overwhelmed with responses from guitarists all over the world that I, reluctantly, had to turn some of them away. We can now begin to see some of the fruits of these collaborations in this work edited by the English guitarist, composer, teacher and arranger, Mark Houghton.
