Study In A Minor

This is a simple but effective song. It is simple one of the most

famous etudes (spanish for "study") by Dionisio Aguado. It is in the key

of A minor and is in 2/4 time. It could easily be in 4/4 but the accents

would be in the wrong place. Each note represents a sixteenth note (with

the exception of the two quarter notes in the song denoted by a "q" above

the note) and the accent should be on 1 and 2. You can see the

greater-than symbols ('>') below the 1st and 2nd beat of the first few

measures. Then it says "sim." which stands for simile which means "keep

on doing that all throughout the song unless otherwise directed".
