At last! Hill Runes on Youtube. I used to play this piece all the time in the 80s and 90s and consider it one of the finest pieces for solo guitar. Sadly it never entered the mainstream repertoire and is seldom played nowadays. I think this is due to the general unpopularity of atonal music amongst the guitar fraternity that has become increasingly apparent since the 1980s. I hope you can help it make a comeback.
@stephenyatesacoustic thanks! I think it's a wonderful piece as well. I was going to record it for a recent CD project, but went with slightly more mainstream (and perhaps a tad technically easier) stuff. Still going to program it, but I have to a gree with you—people tend to resist this piece a lot! Best, gf
