Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) was one of Spain's most distinguished and international composers during the first half of the 20th century. His composition style includes Impressionism, neo-Classicism and Nationalism. It was composed to commemorate the death of C. Debussy who died in 1918 and had helped Falla establish himself in France. Homenaje pour "Le tombeau de C. Debussy" was the only piece composed for solo guitar by Falla and was dedicated to his friend Miguel Llobet (one of Francisco Tárrega's students). He would later arrange it for piano and then orchestra (1938-39). It was written in 1920 (Granada, Spain) and published two years later in the magazine "Revue Musicale".
