Sonata Cubana n.7 by Leo Brouwer, performed by João Luiz

So ... I lost track of Brouwer's compositional output for a while but it turns out Guitar Sonatas 7 and 8 have happened.  I have 1 through 6 and have thought off and on over the years about blogging through them.  Now I'm not sure how realistic such a goal is but ... hey ... I can share a performance of Sonata No. 7.

I've stalled in the middle of Matiegka Op. 23 because I can't just write about Matiegka's sonata without doing at least some analytical work on the Haydn he reworked.  Embarrassing but such is life and the limits of mortal flesh.  I am not aware if anyone has done a book-length treatment of the Leo Brouwer guitar sonatas but somebody really should at some point.
