Oh, I don't know...I think the Britten Nocturnal works
ok on an ERG.  It's a very multi-faceted and intense
piece:  just the qualities that the ERG excels at!  It
might sound like Julian Bream Lite at first, but that
impression passes...

I find that my ERG works fine on Villa Lobos, Barrios,
Lauros etc.  The sound is lighter, but certainly not
any less musical.
