Tradition holds that Barrios wrote Una Limosna Por el Amor de Dios (An Offering for the Love of God) after encountering a blind beggar tapping his stick. This story is probably apocryphal, as are several stories Barrios told (even about himself). All that is certain is what's in the music, one of his most-played pieces. It's one of his tremolo studies, much more melancholy than his similar, longer, and equally popular Un Sueño en la Floresta.

It initially seems straightforward: a seemingly never-ending tremolo melody quivers over an even bass line in six-note phrases. But the harmony constantly shifts, intensifying the music's uneasy, pathetic character. At the composition's midpoint, both the melody and accompaniment reach ever higher in the guitar's range, and at times the simple accompaniment seems to be more prominent than the tremolo material. By the end, the harmony has relaxed and peace replaces sadness in the closing passages.
