Andante from Op. 48
Fernando Sor
Fernando Sor (1778 - 1839) composed a number of albums with little pieces for the guitar enthusiasts of his day. Just like Op. 48, a collection of 6 pieces titled Est-ce Bien ca? You can translate this as "It this as you like it?"
A weird title perhaps. Possibly Sor was bothered a bit by an impatient publisher.
I used a manuscript like old setting as the basis for the transcription. The original was not quite clear in some aspects and missed a bit of consistency in the notation.Where necessary I have simplified the voicing a bit.
In the original, this piece had no name, only a number. After some experimenting with the tempo, the name Andante appeared quite suitable to me. Don 't be alarmed by the thirtysecond note runs, if you playe the piece in an Andante or even a bit slower tempo, the notes are not overly fast.
