Added by alastair-lewis, 23 Aug 2011 This popular piece by Francisco Tarrega is a free sheet music. The Spanish composer named this piece "teardrop", or Lagrima in his home language - hence it has a mournful character. It is not a challenge technically. It begins in the key of E major, and modulates into the key of E minor in the 2nd section. The time signature is 3/4 and the tempo in Andante. Tarrega was born in Villareal, in the province of Castellón, Spain. His father played the guitar, and was skilled in the Spanish style called flamenco. Tarrega became partially blind after becoming sick with an infection. He later had guitar lessons with Julián Arcas, his father also insisted that he learn the piano. At the age of 22 Tarrega entered into the music conservatory in Madrid, under the sponsorship of a wealthy merchant. He was well instructed in the theory of music, harmony, and composition.
