Suite Compostelana, III Cuna - Federico Mompou (1893-1987) This is a beautiful piece that I discovered on a tape done by Christopher Parkening. I was unable to find the tablature out there so I had to do it myself. I believe the timing is correct although the piece is played with a lot of change in speed and expression. If you can find the tape then as usual, considering this is tablature, you can get a better feel for the piece. However I have tried to tab the "generic" timing but encourage the player to be expressive. Also this piece is relatively not that difficult to play. Paul R.
