#3 from 50 Catalan folksongs (Volume I) for piano solo (2005) 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This piece - literally 'Dances from the cave' - comes from a set of around 50 piano transcriptions of Catalan folksongs by the German composer Johannes Rövenstrunck (1949-  ), and is among the results of a detailed study of Catalan folk music undertaken by the composer in early 2005.  Most of the accompaniments of the transcriptions consist of ostinato figures, with the intention of not obscuring the melodies.  For more information on the composer, see tinyurl.com/yjtmfvb3
You can see the scores of these and the other arrangements at:
