Capricho Arabe is the most popular work of the iconic Spanish guitarist Francisco Tárrega who initiated the revival of interest in the classical guitar that had fallen out of fashion during the Romantic period. He travelled extensively throughout the country, exploring the folk traditions of different regions in order to create new aesthetics for classical guitar music which remain relevant to this day.

Tárrega wrote his Capricho Arabe in 1888 while staying in Valencia influenced by Muslim, Castilian, and Christian cultures. The following year, the piece was printed in Barcelona becoming his first published composition

After the fast introduction designed to evoke associations with the Maqam melodic system, Capricho Arabe compositionally revolves around a single theme that softly develops in the key of D minor and then varies by turning to D major. This rather unusual modulation helps to create a distinctive contrast within the same work without making serious alterations to the performing style. At the end of the piece, the melodic passages return to their original forms and help re-establish the minor key.

This iconic composition was played at Tárrega’s funeral in 1909.
