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.
This Valse offers the opportunity for a virtuoso performance. Particularly the section with the triplets in tremolo provide the piece with something sparkling.
