Tárrega's own guitar arrangement of the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata: the famous slow, hypnotic rolling triplets with the melody floating on top and a deep bass beneath, in C-sharp minor's guitar-friendly D minor. Slow and steady, with a few passages to learn a bar at a time. About four and a half minutes.
