10, part of his Twelve Études for Guitar, was first published by Max Eschig, Paris, in 1953.
[1] The piece is in B minor and is marked Très animé – un peu animé – vif.
10 is a study in technique that presents great challenges to the player.
It is in ternary form (ABA), but the return of the opening material is transformed into dance-like rhythmic cells.
An unusual technical feature is the use of the right-hand little finger.
