La Huida De Los Amantes Por El Valle De Los Ecos (La Fuite des Amants par la Vallee des Echos) By Leo Brouwer Tabbed by Scott Erickson (axeman1033@aol.com) See key at bottom for notes on techniques. This is a great song, but extremely difficult. The time signature changes almost every measure. The timing for most of the song is really loose, there are a lot of held notes. The time signatures are not very strict, except in the Echo Melody part.
