Sor Study No.10, Op.60

Noel Hathaway • 18 June 2021

Join me in working through the classical guitar studies of Fernando Sor.

In this video I demonstrate Study No.10 from Op.60, in C Major.


From Op.60 of Sor's complete studies for classical guitar, No.10 follows on logically from No.8 and 9. This is unusual for Sor who seemed to like to keep the student on their toes as they progressed.


All of the studies and lessons in Op.60 focus on right hand (fretting hand) technique, utilising p, i, m and a fingers.

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.
