Many years ago I came upon a transcription of Canarios (melody only, six parts) that was considerably simpler than the Sanz version. I remember it saying that it was a traditional tune from the Canarys, implying Sanz took it, arranged it and composed variations on it - and a fine job he made of it. Of course, I absolutely cannot remember where I got it. Has anyone else heard that this specific tune (not the tune type in general) was originally traditional?
