Interesting.
Most of Tarrega's music is somewhat restrained with emphasis on melody as evident with that famous tune. Yet if only they had video of Tarrega playing his Estudio Brilliante (one of his most flashiest, fiery, virtuosic pieces) he would top many players of any era. And do you know which strings on that thing were extra (like were there extra bass or treble, or a combination)? Seemed like he never played the top 3 or 4 bass strings on that song anyways.
