"The work sparkles with rhythmic vitality... This is definitely not student repertoire but a worthwhile recital work. In the hands of a truly skilled player the result could be stunning. A fine work that deserves a wide audience. ... An edition in which one may have total confidence." (Classical Guitar)
"Each couple, man and woman, never taking more than three steps at a time and playing castanets, to the sound of the orchestra, make a thousand movements, take up a thousand attitudes, with a lasciviousness with which nothing can compare. There is found the expression of love from its beginning to its end, from the sigh of desire to the ecstasy of possession" (Casanova on the fandango, in Madrid in 1768).
