Fernando Sor (1778-1839) was born in Barcelona, Spain. Josep Ferran Sorts i Muntades was a Spanish guitarist and composer. As Sor's works were published in various countries, his name was translated, leading to variations in the spelling. Variations have included Joseph Fernando Macari Sors, Fernando Sor, Ferran Sor, Ferdinand Sor, and Ferdinando Sor. Sor is best known for his guitar compositions, but he also composed music for opera and ballet, earning acclaim for his ballet titled Cendrillon. Sor’s works for guitar range from pieces for advanced players, such as Variations on a Theme of Mozart, to beginner pieces. Andres Segovia chose twenty of the original seventy-seven studies that Sor published in his lifetime. The study in B Minor, Op. 35, No. 22 (Segovia No. 5) Sor designates as “Moonlight,” and we note that Beethoven may well have lifted its figures for his famous Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp Minor.

Opus 6 was published in London in about 1815-17. The original edition divides the work into two editions of six studies each. Opus 29 was published in Paris in 1827 and contains Opus 6, with the first study marked number 13 and continuing through number 24. Opus 31 is also divided into two books of twelve studies each, as is Opus 35. They were both published in Paris in 1828. Opus 60, which has 25 studies, was published in Paris c. 1836-37 and is called "Introduction a l'Etude de la Guitare en vingt cinq lecons progressives," which are very elementary studies with fingerings. Most classical guitarists will come across Fernando Sor's 20 Studies at some point in their development. Sor’s Studies are deceptively difficult and rarely recorded, although John Williams threw his hat in the ring and recorded them consecutively, 1 – 20, on the Westminster label, gold series, WGS-8137 12" LP vinyl, in true Williams, competent fashion. This is a hi-definition copy of existing historical recordings.
