It's beautiful on electric guitar with a clean,\r\nreverb-drenched tone, approximating a piano with its sustain pedal engaged almost \r\nthroughout the the\r\nentire piece*.

The\r\nhigher voice outlines a B minor scale. Alone, each voice is quite neutral, but when\r\nplayed together (and each grouping should be played simultaneously) they have quite a \r\nmagical effect.\r\n\r\nIt would be helpful to listen to a pianist's recorded performance of this piece,\r\nparticularly the version out of the ECM label, which is where I tabbed this transcription.\r\nThere exists on YouTube a classical guitar arrangement in A minor, which is excellent. \r\nI've chosen to TAB this song in its original key, B minor.\r\n\r\nThere is no time signature, and it should be played very freely. However, think of each\r\nphrase as comprised of quarter notes, ending with a long-sustained whole note.\r\n\r\nAs I indicated above, you should capo at the 2nd fret. The fret numbers on this tab are\r\nabsolute, not relative to the capo, e.g. any 2's are open strings at the capo.
