Sor | Fantaisie, Op. 54 bis for 2 guitars
PDF DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
*This title is one of 13 guitar duets by Fernando Sor available individually as a PDF download.
Sor’s Fantaisie op. 54 bis, published in Paris in about 1833, is a remarkable work in the history of Spanish music and its diffusion throughout Europe. It has an Andante allegro leading into an Andantino, followed by an Allegro dans le genre espagnol.
Since the publication of my article on this work in Soundboard in June 2022 (on which see below) I have had this work re-engraved, meaning that the new pdfs which we now provide for this work are sharper and clearer than the pdf for this work which we previously provided.

The fine Allegro dans le genre espagnol is the first and only piece for guitar without voice which Sor is known to have written in the popular Spanish style.
You can hear the whole Fantaisie op. 54 bis played splendidly here by Claudio Maccari and Paolo Pugliese. The Allegro dans le genre espagnol begins at 5'11".
You can also hear the whole Fantaisie op. 54 bis played here by Bream and Williams. The Allegro dans le genre espagnol begins at 6'05".
