Agustin Barrios Mangore (1855-1944) was a Paraguayan classical guitar virtuoso and composer. He composed over 300 works for solo guitar and made over 30 recordings, including what may have been the first recording of a classical guitarist on vinyl record. For many years after Barrios's death, his life and works were remembered only in his native Paraguay. However, beginning in the 1970s, his music found a wider audience thanks to the performances of Australian guitarist John Williams and American guitarist Richard Stover. Today, the music of Barrios is now a large part of the classical guitar repertory.

Preludio in C minor, written in 1920, conveys a melancholy mood expressing the mature reflections of the composer. Its style may be reminiscent of Sor’s arpeggio Study, Op. 29, No. 13, but Barrios’s intention here seems more expressive than pedagogic.
