TRES NOTAS PARA DECIR TE QUIERO is one of Vicente Amigo's most successful pieces. It is timed in
the compas of the flamenco tangos, not to be confused with the tango from Buenos Aires.
The "notation" version in Walter Abt's transcription includes some playful light alternatives of
extremely demanding technical and rhythmic passages as an appended ossia line. Interesting in
Vicente's improvisation part are the deviations of the harmonic sequence according to the theme.
His altered changes allow for a scalic improvisation in the aeolian and harmonic mode of E minor. In
the second falseta (bars 120-137) you can improvise over the chords E7 and Am scalically with Amharmonic
(a, b, c, d, e, f, g#), and in the following chords with Em-harmonic.The final part is taken
from a live version of one of his concerts. The recapitulation of the intro, with the final chord Em9
instead of Cmaj (see the ossia line in the "notation" version), can also figure as an excellent
alternative finale.
