Capricho árabe
Capricho árabe (Arabic Caprice) is an 1892 work for classical guitar by Spanish composer Francisco Tárrega. Composed after a trip through Andalucia and North Africa, he dedicated it to his friend, conductor Tomás Bretón.[1]
Three bands surrounding Tárrega's coffin played the song during his funeral in his honour.
The piece is widely recognized for its beauty, and utilizes slur techniques on the classical guitar.[2][3]
