Estudio Sin Luz - A Jose Rubio Andres Segovia Andres Segovia wrote this piece while recuperating from eye surgery. He dedicated the piece to his surgeon Jose Rubio. The title translates as Study without Light. This is a beautifully sad piece and one can imagine the great Segovia playing with his eyes bandaged as the feeling pours from his guitar. I first heard this piece played by Eliot Fisk on his video entitled The Segovia Style. If you have not seen this video you must get it! It is both inspiring and educational. That being said I must apologize for this feeble attempt at tabbing it. You must listen to this piece many times before attempting to learn it with this tab. It should be noted, as Eliot Fisk does on his video, that there was a printing error in the original printing of the music. Phillip de Fremery helped Eliot with the notation and correction of the error. I have tabbed the corrected version and the measures are marked with an asterix above the measures. Eliot also plays the full version as Segovia originally scored it. Apparently there is a recorded version by Segovia where he drops several measures. Anyway, I hope that I have stayed true to Phillip de Fremery's and Eliot Fisk's notation and fingerings.
