Marche and Valse 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.
The first two pieces of Op. 48 are Marche and Valse. They form a relatively simple start of the collection, just to get a taste before playing the more difficult part. Play the Marche in joyful march tempo and try to play the Valse dance-like.
