The Joy of Fernando Sor

Prolific Spanish composer of the classical period Fernando Sor is one of the pillars of classical guitar music whose contributions have shaped the instrument's repertoire and technique. In this collection, brilliant American guitarist Daniel Estrem presents five pieces written by Sor, including two etudes, Vals No. 5 for pianoforte (arranged by Byron Fogo, courtesy of Clear Note Publications), Siciliana, and Andante Largo. Sorted by difficulty, these pieces serve as a step-by-step journey to enjoy the characteristic originality and expressiveness of Sor's music. Every piece comes with Daniel's practical tips as well as tablature notation to expedite your learning.
