Fernando Sor Study No,13, Op.60 for classical guitar

Noel Hathaway • 25 June 2021

Join me in learning from the classical guitar studies of Fernando Sor.

In this video I demonstrate the beautiful study; No.13 from Op.60, in C Major, which makes a great piece to perform on it's own, at functions or Weddings.


From Op.60 of Sor's complete studies for classical guitar, No.13 changes key back to C major. As with all the studies in Op.60 the intention seems to be plucking hand development with the focus here on alternately plucking pairs of notes from within the chords.

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.
