Estudio en forma de minueto (English: Study in the Form of a Minuet), sometimes incorrectly named Estudio en forma de minuetto,[1] is an etude for guitar by Spanish guitarist Francisco Tárrega.

Composition and analysis[edit]

Francisco Tárrega produced a large number of compositions and arrangements for solo guitar as pieces to be performed only for personal purposes. This etude was finished while living in Barcelona on September 29, 1906.[2] It was dedicated to Consuelo Pascual de Bordum and was later published by Vidal Llimona y Boceta. The whole piece, which consists of only one major section, is in A major. Given that Tárrega's compositions were personal divertimentos at the time, it has been published many times over in different collections and has been given different catalogue numbers.[1] However, no definitive cataloging system has been established for any of Tárrega's compositions.
