Fernando Sor, Study No.15, Op.60 for classical guitar

Noel Hathaway • 28 June 2021

From Op.60 of Sor's complete studies for classical guitar, No.15  is in the key of E major and revolves around a I, IV, V chord progression. The intent seems primarily to be lesson on forming and holding chords with the fretting hand, there is a little for the plucking hand to do, rolling through chords using p, i, m, a fingers.


As ever this is a very beautiful piece, that, being in a major key would work well as a repertoire piece for a function or Wedding.

Fernando Sor found fame as a virtuoso performer and composer, creating a great interest in the guitar (Spanish style). To help others learn to play he created music for instructional purposes, organising them into Opus' which move through levels of musical complexity and technical difficulty. Whilst the studies are mainly looked at for pedagogical reasons, many of them do stand alone as useful repertoire pieces.The body content of your post goes here.
