Agustín Barrios (1885-1944) was one of the first guitarists to make recordings in the beginning of the 20:th century.
He wrote more than 100 pieces for guitar where of this Valse is one of the most famous a beloved.
It’s been one of my favourite pieces now for nearly half a century.Not only is the music so beautiful but it’s also so well
written for the instrument,which makes it a joy to play it.
For me Barrios is the Chopin of the guitar……and I really love Chopin too.
If someone miss the introduction in the beginning,it’s because I play the version from 1922 where Barrios saves these
bars until just before the end.
