This piece really works for her. Just the right amount of bravura and humor.

@piczar41 thanks a lot. im already playing this piece but not this good though, and not as fast.. im also playing souvenirs of andalousie- really really nice! now id like to play a not so hard piece like the fugue in g minor 578 by bach, it has a different appeal. thanks again for the imslp.org suggestion. you are my new best friend. :-) :-) hahaha

@marcoyuan012 You can find the sheet music to Manchega, Op. 38, at imslp.org (browse composers and look for Gottschalk). It's also in most print volumes of Gottschalk's music.

My favorite piano composer, and he's so unknown, probably because he was a mid 19th century American. His music is way ahead of the 1800's--very modern sounding. Ms. Licad is excellent.

could somebody please send me this sheet music?!

NICE HAIR!!! It seems like she was murmuring to herself "pup...param...param..param..p­up...param...param" haha as if she was "singing or humming" the beat of her piece.... IT'S SO LIVELY!!!
