Barrios Mangore, Agustin: Music Album for Guitar Vol. 2, Guitar solo sheet music

Pieces by Agustin Barrios Mangoré for guitar solo edited by Jesus Benites - Agustin Pio Barrios Ferreyra, a composer and guitarist from Paraguay, is now known as the creator of the Indo-American school of guitar. "He took the name Mangoré in honor of Chief Mangoré, an important personality in the Paraguayan jungle". Mangoré has used popular folkloric themes from South Africa as well as sounds of nature ("The still waters [...] of the Amazon", "The song of the birds") for his works. Magnoré was also influenced by European music: He composed gavottes, minuets and waltzes: "It was J.S.Bach where Barrios discovered the source of its generality [...]". Admired by many, but even more despised, was his way of playing the sides of the guitar: "[...] the way he hit the sides with his fingers, avoiding using his fingernails". He also invented a kind of damper: for example, he put "small balls of rubber on the Pirastro steel strings". Jesus Benites R., who compiled Magnoré's works for this edition, says about him: “Magnoré is the genius of South America”. He has influenced numerous composers and artists, including Heitor Villa-Lobos, Manuel Ponce and Andres Segovia. 86 pages - content: Mabelita, Minueto en Do, Gavota al Estilo Antiguo, Villancico de Navidad, Estudio No. 6, Canción de cuna, Danza, Barcarola, Estudio en Si menor, La Samaritana, Preludio en Mi mayor, Cueca, Aire de Zamba, Estilo argentino, Danza güaraní, Allegro sinfónico, País de Abanicos, El Ultimo Trémolo, Leyenda de Espana, Vals No. 2, Estudio de Concierto No. 1, Contemplación, Preludio, op. 5/1, Vals, op. 8/4, Un Sueno en la Floresta
