Here's what the publisher has to say:
We proudly present a new critical edition of the collected guitar works by
Fernando Sor. Some titles in this edition may be new to some readers, eg the
contents of volume 10. This new edition is the biggest new publishing
undertaking for the music of Sor since the 1970s.
Our editor Erik Stenstadvold is a noted expert on 19th century guitar music
and publishes regularly in leading professional journals such as Soundboard
and Early Music. His life-long preoccupation with Sor and his music, both as
a performer and researcher, has resulted in a meticulous edition combining
scholarly accuracy and practical usefulness.
All relevant early sources have been consulted, often several different
printed editions and manuscripts of a particular work. In each case the most
dependable source has been chosen as copy text, on the basis of historical
evidence and textual reliability.
Variances and errors in the original scores are corrected and discussed in
the comprehensive critical commentaries. All volumes contain detailed
introductory notes that place the individual works in their historical
context and discuss particular notation problems. Suggestions for the
interpretation of ornaments are also provided. In Volume 1 and 2 (Studies),
Sors likely purpose of each individual study is discussed in relation to the
technique and fingering principles he describes in his 1830 Méthode.
The music scores are produced at concert size with clear and accurate music
engraving and high-quality German printing. Original fingering is retained,
but in order to make the music more accessible to players in general,
editorial fingering has been judiciously added in works with little or no
indications in the original editions. Added fingerings are easily
distinguishable from the original ones by their different typefaces.
The guitar duos come with full-size study scores and separate parts. As an
optional extra we offer a pocket size score with all the duos (188 pages, 17
x 24 cms).
Each volume has its own thematic index with incipits and the pages include
headers to assist navigation.
