Select  “Cuban Dances” by 19th century Cuban composer Ignacio Cervantes.  Although Cervantes respected the binary form established by his predecessor Manuel Saumell, it was the romanticism of Cervantes’ dances which distinguished the final evolutionary phase of the “contradanza”.  They were conceived by Cervantes as “a page in the album of the Romantic Century”.  This group of Cuban Dances were originally written for the piano and arranged here for flute and guitar in standard notation only with separate pull-out sections for guitar and flute.
