In the late 1920's, Mexican composer and pianist Manuel Ponce was commissioned by Andres Segovia to write twenty-four Preludes for guitar. Two volumes consisting of 6 Preludes each were published in 1930, while the remaining twelve Preludes were not published until 1980 by guitarist, Miguel Alcazar.
For me personally, learning these pieces invoked many different expressions and interpretations. They are remarkably robust in technique and phrasings revealing themselves with new thoughts of interpretations as I get control of their tempo demands.
