Variations on a Theme of Tarrega by Agustin Barrios Mangore

This piece dated in 1939 is one of Barrios masterpieces. It is in the theme and variations form, which in my opinion is the most difficult for a composer, because he has to release a great amount of creativity to "talk" about a theme during a long period of time. Fine examples are Bach's Chaconne and Goldberg Variations and Beethoven's Diabelli Variations.

The main theme is Lágrima by Tárrega. Barrios uses all the techniques possible on the guitar in the six variations that follow the main theme.
