Pensatina

Pensatina is pensive, yearning, and even slightly lamenting. “Pensativa” is Spanish for “thoughts” or “thinker,” so I just changed the word slightly for aesthetics. This is my very first completed guitar composition, written before I was able to study composition. It can be characterized as “through-composed,” being very continuous as it moves from one idea to the next.
