Lágrima by Francisco Tárrega | Classical Guitar by Kyle Phaneuf

Watch Kyle Phaneuf perform 'Lágrima' by Francisco Tárrega on Classical Guitar.

'Lágrima' by Francisco Tárrega. Tarrega, a Spanish guitarist and composer, is considered the be the “father of classical guitar,” due to his virtuosic ability on the instrument and his influence in his evolution. his most well-known composition ‘Recuerdos de la Alhambra’ remains as one of the most performed guitar pieces to this day.

Throughout his childhood, Tarrega would consistently run away from home in order to pursue his passion for the classical guitar. On at least three occasions he did this and his father would have to go and look for him, traveling as far off as a few countries away in search for his son. His efforts paid off and Tarrega maintained a healthy career as a performer and educator teaching students such as Emilio Pujol and Miguel Llobet.

At this point in history, the guitar was still seen as a second-rate instrument and only viewed as a means to accompany singers. Tarrega had a different idea in mind, however, and began transcribing popular music for the guitar, such as Chopin, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn. This enhanced his repertoire and began changing the image of the classical guitar. Tarrega had many friends among the composers of his day and would often transcribe their music for the guitar. Isaac Albeniz is one such composer who is quoted stating he “preferred Tarrega’s guitar transcriptions to his original piano works.”

Francisco Tarrega played on a guitar made by Antonio de Torres. It was often stated that this instrument had “superior sonic capabilities” that moved Tarrega to wonder about the capabilities of the guitar.
