David Frankel - Francisco Tárrega

[Music] I remember when I began playing the guitar, one name immediately stood out and that was Francisco Targa. Francisco Targa lived in Spain at the end of the 19th century and left us with a rich repertoire of guitar pieces that captures the heart of every guitarist who starts to play the guitar. The piece of his I chose to perform for you today is called Lagria. It means a tear in Spanish. The story goes that he was traveling and was nostalgic to his home and composed this beautifully sad piece called A Tear. [Music]
