These manuscripts which are used for this book to be derived from, the manuscripts I spoke with Aida Sosa de Pirovano, the daughter of Martin Borda y Pagola, (an Agustin Barrios benefactor), on the phone for about for 20 minutes about in 2001. I talked about these manuscripts on my lecture Annnotations DVD. When I read the years of the different pieces I thought: Yeh, that's the song that was inspired by a mountain on her father's ranch.

Widely considered one of the greatest and most influential guitar composers of all time, Agustin Barrios (b. Paraguay, 1885–1944), composed his most significant works from 1913–1927, the period from which these 12 masterful pieces are drawn. Meticulously compiled and arranged by César Amaro, Doce Piezas para Guitarra includes the sentimental five-movement work “Leyenda Guarani,” the oft-performed, Romantic tremolo piece “Souvenir d’un Reve” (better known as “Un Sueno de la floresta”), the arpeggio etude “Las Abejas,” the devotional “La Catedral,” the folkloric “Vidalita con Variaciones,” among other brilliant works. Complete with insightful historical notes by Amaro.
