l The most popular piece of music in Spain, the land of chivalry, magic and passion. Yet far from being ribald, and rowdy, it is elegant, and elevating. It's composer is anonymous, its source unknown, and its name, previously lacking, now borrowed from the 1952 French film "Jeux Interdits" that used it as the theme song. The player, grand master Narciso Yepes, reportedly composed the guitar music at age 9. But he himself denied it. Another theory was that Fernando Sor composed it in the early 19th century, which later was overhtrown. It origin has remained a mystery to this day. Yepes' playing, with sensitive handling of each sentence, is superb, and worthy of repeated listening and savoring.

l 這是西班亞最常聽到的旋律,大街小巷,從早到晚,都會飄來。此音樂雖普受歡迎,卻毫不低俗。高雅、含蓄、清純。是最美而持久的情操。來源不詳,作曲者無名。表演者是西班牙古典吉他大師。他的琴藝我從1960年代後期便開始欣賞嚮往,如今將近半世紀。
