Author’s Note:

“Although this piece could equally well be called “Homage to Leo Brouwer”,  its title will be instantly recognised as a paraphrase of the Cuban composer and conductor’s own Elogio de la danza (1964).  This piece breaks down into a succession of short and long movements,  sometimes in the form of hidden quotations,  that encapsulate all I feel I owe to Leo Brouwer,  one of the guiding lights of the guitar today.”
