Lagrima is a short, beautiful piece of music composed by the great Spanish composer, Francisco Tarrega. This is one of my favorite classical guitar pieces and one I never get tired of playing. It is composed in two sections, both 8 measures each. The first section is in E Major and the second section is in E minor.
