A virtuoso work performed in octaves in both hands. Its movements incorporate parallel, contrary, and oblique motion. The frequent fourth leaps observed throughout the piece were an interval also commonly used by composers of the time, such as Morillo; it is likely no coincidence that the open string tunings of guitars, evocative of gauchos, are also constructed from a stacking of fourths.
