This was the romanza written for Marcos Redondo, but it was felt to be
too soft in character and replaced by the passionate and larger-scale
act 2 "escena" towards the end of the work which is now one of the
highlights of the work. It probably *was* orchestrated, but you've have
to ask the Sorozabal family what happened to the manuscript! I'd guess
it would add little to the final version, unless (unthinkably) you were
to cut the superb replacement.

all the best
