Lagrima, by the great Francisco Tarrega, is one of the best-loved pieces in the classical guitar world. It is both sad and sweet, both hopeful and wary. A masterpiece of emotional writing.

While this piece is short (just 16 bars long), it poses some challenges for guitarists.  Perhaps this is where it got the title, Lagrima, which translates to “Teardrop!”
