By 1836, Fernando Sor had composed and published many studies for the guitar. He’d already written his Méthode pour la Guitare, which during his life was regarded well enough that an English translation surfaced in London. Now, near the end of his life, he turned again to composing a set of guitar studies. Op. 60 would be his last pedagogical work. It was the apotheosis of a life devoted to playing, teaching, and composing for the guitar.
I’ve written an essay on this recording. In it, I offer a piece by piece commentary on the entire collection. You can find my essay here:

I hope you find this music as pleasing to hear as I found it to play.
Sincerely,
Tom Poore
