Francisco Tárrega: ¡Adelita! (Mazurka)
Legend has it that the piece Adelita owes its name to Adela Aymerich, the allegedly illegitimate daughter of the King of Spain Alfonso XII. For Adelita, it seems that Tárrega seeks the inspiration in the kujawiak, a slow Polish folk dance by following the ideas of the stylized mazurka conceived by Chopin.
