Sor: Complete Studies for Guitar

Enea Leone (guitar)

Spanish composer Fernando Sor was one of the most important composers for his instrument, the guitar. He wrote extensively for it: sonatas, sonatinas, fantasias, character pieces, and a large body of Etudes, which are collected completely on this release.

The studies cover a wide range of technical features in order of increasing difficulty, from simple beginner to an advanced professional level. In all studies the technical issue serves as a starting point of a purely musical discourse, never losing itself in dry technical exercises. Many a musical gem is hidden in these cycles of studies!
