Lágrima (Teardrop) is a romantic prelude for solo guitar by Spanish guitarist Francisco Tárrega.
It has an A-B-A structure, section A being in E major and B in E minor, and has been overwhelmingly highlighted by critics because of its simplicity and melancholic atmosphere.
Section B turns a little bit less predictable but otherwise still very simple, with eighth notes on the main voice.
[3] As usual in Tárrega's composition, Lágrima bears some technical difficulties in spite of its simplicity.
[4] Composed between late 1891 and early 1892, it is one of Tárrega's most performed pieces.
