Capricho \u00c1rabe is a popular classical guitar composition that has been performed and recorded by many guitarists. Francisco Tarrega (1852-1909) composed it sometime in the 1880s, and it was first published in 1902.<\/p>
The full title is Capricho \u00c1rabe: Serenata para Guitarra and it is dedicated to Tom\u00e1s Bret\u00f3n. Bret\u00f3n was a composer whose output included opera, orchestral music, and Zarzuela (Spanish light opera).<\/p>
Capricho \u00c1rabe is written in a European style meant to evoke images and sounds of the Arabic world and the Andalucian region of Spain. Two other well-known compositions by Tarrega in this style are Danza Mora and Recuerdos de la Alhambra.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
