About this piece
Fandango is a single-movement piece for unaccompanied cello, written in 1990 and published by Merion Music/Theodore Presser with a dedication to cellist Benjamin C. Myers. It draws on Spanish flamenco: the cello imitates guitar-style strumming and percussive dance rhythms, alternating these with lyrical, folk-like melody. The publisher describes its harmony as centred on G minor with Phrygian colouring, and the piece lasts about five and a half minutes.
