Air du toréador-by Georges Bizet (1838-1875) By Estelle Bertrand It is impossible to have missed this very famous air from the opera "Carmen" (1875), by Georges Bizet. Guitare Classique offers you an arrangement for guitar in A major. While the bass line is made up of quarter notes that mark the pulse, the melody unfolds on dotted rhythms. Not to mention the triplets of doubles to be performed brilliantly. Among the difficulties, let us point out the barre of measure 8 or even the few appoggiaturas that contribute to the charm of this timeless air.
