Kyuhee Park - A. Barrios: Un Sueño en la Floresta

This «dream in the forest» melds Barrios' interest in Paraguayan scenery and culture with his reverence of Chopin. A brief introduction redolent of nineteenth century salon music in Chopin style ushers in a long-lined, highly romantic melody entirely in tremolo over an accompaniment in the lower strings. Tremolo gives way to the guitar version of a portamento in the next section, as a variant of the melody is presented with stinging downslides on certain notes. The tremolo study returns after this, now with a somewhat more active accompaniment, and carries the piece to its tender, sentimental conclusion.
