Fantaisie Elegiaque opus 59 for solo guitar

Composer: Fernando Sor |

This is an eloquent work from Sor's late period. Re-engraved, with a new preface by Brian Jeffery.

Fantaisie Elegiaque is a threnody; a lamentation on a death. In one sense it is specific, in that the title-page tells us the name of the person on whose death is was composed. In another sense it is personal, for the composer himself had not long to live. And in a final sense, it can be regarded as an eloquent reflection on death as part of the human condition. It was composed and first published in Paris in about 1836.
