Capricho árabe (Arabic Caprice) is an 1892 work for classical guitar by Spanish composer Francisco Tárrega. Composed after a trip through Andalucia and North Africa, he dedicated it to his friend, conductor Tomás Bretón.[1]
Three bands surrounding Tárrega's coffin played the song during his funeral in his honour.
The piece is widely recognized for its beauty, and utilizes slur techniques on the classical guitar. It is generally considered to be an intermediate-level piece.[2] [3]
