Rodrigo's Aranjuez (Adagio) for piano solo?

[zeeshanb]

Is there a piano version of the Rodrigo's Aranjuez guitar concerto, the second movement? I know it would probably not sound very good but I wanted to try it. I searched on sheetmusicplus.com and could not find one.

The alternative for me is to get the guitar/piano version and make my own arrangement!

I think you'll probably have to make your own. Use plenty of rolled chords. Also, be prepared to put in extra notes to keep the rhythm going, as there are many lenghty, sustained string notes in this work.

Good luck.

 dear zeeshanb!
 c'mon...leave the poor chap alone! this concerto is constantly slaughtered by unprepared guitarists: isn't that enough?  about transcription, as you said, it will not sound any good.
 why don't you try some actual piano compositions by him? there are many, and some are quite charming.
 best!

Chick Corea used it in his tune "Spain" as intro. You can probably find an excerpt somewhere in a fake book with melody and chords. I know it´s in the first "illegal" Real Book.

gerryjay is right, try some of the solo works.

A transcription has been done, but it is horrid.

Actually that is how I got inspired. I watched the video of Chick Corea Spain! He was playing a duet with some Japanese jazz pianist.
