Sor | Six Divertimentos, Op. 8 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 Six Divertimentos [op. 8] are a set of six short pieces first published in London in 1818-19. They are:
- Minuet
- Waltz
- Andantino
- Allegretto scherzoso
- March
- Waltz
The Minuet no. 1, and the Waltz no. 2, are FREE TO EVERYBODY pieces.
It is evident that the set has been planned as a whole, with contrast of keys and of tempi, and therefore performance as a whole is recommended. The interesting and very carefully marked dynamic contrasts in no. 5, a march, doubtless parallel similar dynamic contrasts in the military music of the time, so you might wish to play the piece observing those dynamic contrasts.
This edition comes from Sor’s New Complete Works for Guitar edited by Brian Jeffery.
