Prelude in G Minor by Agustin Barrios Mangore
Friday, March 20, 2009
This is one of my favorite pieces by Barrios. As it is a homage to my musical "idol", Bach, of whom Barrios said "he elevates us to the eternal".
This piece is modeled after the Baroque prelude. He made use of inverted pedal points, that is, sutained notes over which are played other notes and chords. If you ever heard the Toccata and fugue in D minor you would know what I'm talking about.
