One of my favorite Progressive Rock bands, going back to the 1970s, is PFM. I lost track of them for about 30 years
but was impressed with some of their albums in the early 2000s.

Il Sogno Di Leonardo (Leonardo’s Dream) is a piece written by their guitarist Franco Mussida that appeared on their
2006 instrumental album Stati Di Immaginazione.

It starts off with just the classical guitar but brings in keyboards, bass and strings in the original recording. In this
solo arrangement I tried to incorporate as much as I could and hope I got close to how I think Franco Mussida might
play it without the accompanying instruments.

Hi Neil,

WOW... that was SO beautiful and completely mesmerising.

Thanks for showing us how interesting and expressive a steel string can be.

A great way to start my Saturday.

I haven't heard of PFM before so had a look on Wikipedia:
Premiata Forneria Marconi is an Italian progressive rock band. PFM were the first Italian group to have success abroad, entering both the British and American charts. Between 1973 and 1977 they released five albums with English lyrics
