Hi all.
First of all i hope what i am doing is not illegal. If it is the cls can remove it.
Anyway i have got a classical guitar piece which i like but i don't know who is the composer or the title of the song.
So i uploaded a short sample of it at yousendit and i will give you a link so if anyone wants to help you can download it and see if you know it.
The link is:

As i said i am looking for the name of the composer and the title of the piece.
Thanks
Nikos

Greetings Nikos,

I checked out that web place and hmm, somehow unable to locate what you are requesting this info on.

I have only been to that particular web place a couple of times so I guess maybe I just haven't got all the understandings of the working of it.

Trust it all works out for you. smile

The piece is called Leyenda (aka. Asturias)
by Albeniz. It was originally a Piano piece and was transcribed for guitar by Segovia, who also recorded the most famous flamenco version of it.

Oh, I forgot to mention. In the song spanish caravan by the doors, Robbie Kreagur borrows a bit of this piece. That's actually where I first heard it; on a doors record. It's right in the intro.
