This is such a well known and popular guitar solo that it is remarkable that the composer is unknown. A positive Spanish feel to this track full of passion, love and affection.

Chopin: Prelude Opus 28 No. 20 C Minor (funeral March)
Frederic Chopin
This Chopin prelude has the nickname, 'Funeral March', although it isn't the tune we associate with his piano sonata No. 2 third movement. However; this is strident and morose with its block chords in a minor key.

Satie: Gymnopedie No. 3
Erik Satie
Slow and grave, ('Lent et grave'), the third Gymnopodie is perhaps the most heartbreaking. The whole ambience is punctuated by mournful melodies that have become so popular in modern productions.
