Sor | Fantaisie elegiaque, Op. 59 for solo guitar
PDF DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
*This title is one of 62 guitar solos by Fernando Sor available individually as a PDF download.
Sor’s op. 59, the Fantaisie Élégiaque à la mort de Madame Beslay, née Levavasseur, is a threnody, a lamentation on a death, a work of unrelieved grief. In one sense it is specific, in that the title-page tells us the name of the person on whose death it 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 first published, and probably composed, in Paris in about 1835.
