Interesting! I produced Sharon playing this piece (do you really think that 
"everyone" will recognize what you are talking about by the initials 
["Recuerdos de l'Alhambra", si?]--or was this note part of a longer string 
that I haven't been following) some time ago for a lovely Virgin Classics 
release. Where did you hear her play this?

She didn't say anything about it at the time, but we weren't discussing 
origins either.

Best wishes,
Steve
