Elegie in D minor (Classical Guitar Solo)

It's great as a tremolo study piece but for me it's just lacking something extra to give it interest. What I mean is, look at some of the great tremolo based pieces for guitar. Recuerdos de la alhambra has that triplet figure and moves into the tonic major, as does el Ultimo Tremolo. Maybe instead of repeating the same material at bar 14 you could do something similar. It doesn't even need to be prepared in any way. It's the surprise of it that makes it effective.

Also, as a guitarist, I have to say I much prefer the traditional way of notating tremolo for guitar (Four semiquavers with the last three being repeated notes). Nearly every piece of tremolo based music a guitarist has seen is going to have used that layout so it makes sense to keep things familiar so as not to confuse the player (And trust me, guitarists are easily confused, as I'm sure you already know!). Also, just as a taste thing, I would be tempted to put some fingerings in to keep the player away from the 1st position because the E string tremolo sounds really harsh to me down there. I would personally much rather keep the player on the B string as much as possible and around the 5th/6th/7th positions because the guitar is much sweeter there. That's just personal taste though.

Hi! Thank you for the response.

I was thinking about going into the tonic major, but I didn't want to copy Recuerdos and El Ultimo Tremolo TOO much. A lot of people know those pieces and I don't want to draw too many comparisons. Those 2 are some of my favorite pieces and they are beautiful. I do agree that going major would be surprising too. Hmmmm, I will think about it.

As for the 4 sixteenth notation for tremolo, I've seen many pieces notated with the tremolo mark. I don't think it is TOO MUCH of a problem but if more people don't like it then I will change it...

And I will put fingerings on the final version, I agree the b string is sweet!

Thank you for the thoughtful response
