António SIMÕES de Carvalho BARBAS (1849-1916) was a Portuguese musician, composer, guitarist, director, and Music Teacher in the 730 year old University of Coimbra. This little piece without title - let's call it "Gavota - Folha de Álbum" or Album Leaf" - was found in a manuscript by Adamo Caetano among the composers belongings and it was composed for the 11 string guitar, the favorite Barbas' instrument (7+4 strings). The date in the MS is Christmas day, 1904.
