A little Prelude by the Mexican composer Manuel M Ponce (1882-1942), part of his 24 Preludes (each on a different one of the 24 keys, a little like Bach's 'Well Tempered Clavier'), which he wrote for Andrés Segovia.

The Preludes by Manuel M Ponce:  this one has a slightly more complicated story. The original Prelude in G major was lost and never found. Alcázar put a different piece in his first edition of the 24 Preludes and included this one in the second edition -this having appeared as a variation in a different work. I think it works very well on its own or as part of a set of the Preludes, even if it didn't start life as such.

_That_ little prelude by Fernando Sor.  A couple of students of mine are playing it so I thought I'd upload a quick home take on this.

Amazingly, youtube seems to think that somebody holds a copyright on this piece.  Fernando Sor died in 1839.
