For Grete Dollitz - There Can Be Only One (Date Night Challenge - Classical Guitar style)

The Love Song. Painting by Jean-Antoine Watteau

When we threw down the gauntlet and challenged our radio announcers to send us the list of music they'd play on a date night, Grete Dollitz, host of The Hour With the Guitar, said "There can be only one."

• One melody to make an impression on someone you've just met
• One melody for falling in love
• One melody for a couple solidly in love
• One melody for the newly wed couple, and
• One melody for those lucky ones who've been happily married a long time.

Nothing more than this fantastic piece would be needed.

What is this piece Grete??? 

Answer: The second movement of the "Concierto de Aranjuez" by Joaquin Rodrigo. Here it is - performed by John Williams:
