Agustin Barrios Mangore
Agustin Barrios Mangore (1885-1944) was the greatest composer for the guitar. His music is guitaristic, exploring all the possibilities of the instrument but also great music.
As guitarist John William's said: "His music is very guitaristic, rather like Chopin is for the piano. In this way he has filled that need of every instrument to have its composer who belonged to the instrument and at the same time wrote great music".

I have the most complete biography on the net, I'm from Paraguay and I have access to materials concerning him that you won't find anywhere else. I recommend reading the biography to know this great composer.
But I recomend even more to know his music. I have sheet music for download of most of his works. These are scores I've made from different sources.
There are so many things to know about this artist. There are many anecdotes, like his charaterization of chief Nitsuga Mangore, the indian who played the guitar. He is also famous as the classical guitarist who played using steel strings. And is also notable his relationship with Andres Segovia.
This and much more is covered in the biography. You can also download audio files of my favorite pieces by him.
