One of Barrios&#8217; students maintained that Barrios was &#8220;persuaded&#8221; to add it in, however I am not so sure. The score and the musical ideas within it, all seem to point to Bach. Which is supported by the fact that the second movement is a homage to Bach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Learn the Prelude to Barrios The Cathedral (Part 1)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cm3nDWZa2fQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this first video lesson, we cover the opening phrase for La Catedral (The Cathedral) prelude, and the next two phrases after it.
