While the acoustic guitar repertoire is vast and diverse, there are several well-known compositions that must be included in an artist's repertoire. Fernando Tarrega's Gran Vals, Jose Ferrer's Ejercicio No.9, and Alonso Mudarra's Fantasia X are only three of the important pieces for mastering this instrument.
Every student of this instrument hopes of being able to wow his audience with difficult and dramatic melodies like as Enrique Granados' Dans Spaniol Nr. 5, Stanley Yates' Cavatina, or Augustin Barrios Mangore's La Catedral.
