Magnificent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concierto_de_Aranjuez

Interpretations

A number of musicians have since reinterpreted the work, including jazz legend Miles Davis in the company of arranger Gil Evans. On the album Sketches of Spain (1960), Davis says: "That melody is so strong that the softer you play it, the stronger it gets, and the stronger you play it, the weaker it gets". Violinist Ikuko Kawai's version, Aranjuez, is an upbeat, faster update to the work. Clarinettist Jean-Christian Michel revisited Aranjuez's concerto. His clarinet's transcription "Aranjuez" has sold on 1,500,000 copies. Virtuoso Guitarist Buckethead covered Sketches of Spain on the album Electric Tears; this was also a tribute to Miles Davis. The introduction and middle section of Chick Corea's "Spain" are based on the Adagio. Bassist Buster Williams performs a solo bass transcription of the second movement of Concierto De Aranjuez on his album GRIOT LIBERTE (2006).

Until asked to perform and interpret Concierto de Aranjuez in 1991, the Spanish guitarist Paco de Lucia was not proficient at reading musical notation. As a flamenco guitarist, de Lucía claimed in Paco de Lucia-Light and Shade: A Portrait, he gave greater emphasis to rhythmical accuracy in his interpretation of the Concierto at the expense of the perfect tone preferred by classical guitarists. Joaquín Rodrigo declared that no one had ever played his composition in such a brilliant manner.

That melody is so strong that the softer you play it, the stronger it gets, and the stronger you play it, the weaker it gets".

Yes Yes it is true. A remarkable feature of the work.

It has been used in many different ways in popular culture.
