Danza Paraguaya is one of Barrios greatest works. The Paraguayan composer takes the Paraguayan folk dance Polka and creates a unique masterpiece. He adds a third part to the 2 part musical form as if trying to crown his work with a touch of genius. He does and adds one of the greatest guitar works to the repertoire.
It is a virtuoso piece in that it requires the player to dedicate time to stretches, and perfect coordination of both hands.
