A range of fabulous educational and concert guitar music by the UK's top guitar composers educators and performers.Rush originally started out as a study for the right hand thumb. The piece opens in five with a darting weaving bass melody and harmonic language similar to the Cuban feel of Leo Brouwer's first study.
