Additional info/contents	This piece is dedicated to one of the most influential Cuban flute players, Barbarito Torres. The contradanza, a Cuban music style typical of the early 19th century, is generally notated in binary form and has a cheerful character due to its lively pace. The piece brings into prominence the cinquillo, a rhythmic cell that is considered to be of great significance in traditional Cuban music. In its original form, this style of music did not feature improvisations, but the theme melts into a 'son montuno', which then allows room for improvised solos.
