Homemaje: Le tombeau de Claude Debussy
Manuel de Falla (1876-1946)
Manuel de Falla wrote this piece in 1920; it is the first major guitar piece of the 20th century. The habanera rhythm and musical quotes from Debussy’s own La soirée dans Grenade make this one of the most important works for the guitar. You can hear Falla’s love and admiration for his dear friend in every note of this piece.
