	classicalguitar.net - Fernando Sor
		Sor was one of the most prolific composers for, and promoters of, the guitar as a "concert" instrument, in the last two hundred years.
		Sor's vocal compositions have gained such favour [sic] that a new set of arietts, from his pen, causes almost as much sensation as the publication of a new novel by the author of Waverly." (Repository of Arts March 1, 1820) (Jeffery Sor).
		Sor was greatly saddened by this and seems to have gone into a state of depression, as evidenced by the last great symphonic work written by him, a Mass in honor of his daughter.

	Fernando Sor (1778 - 1839) by Andrew Daly
		Fernando Sor was one of these French sympathisers (Afrancesados) and sided against the deposed Spanish King,Charles IVth.
		Presumably Sor`s own technique was more than adequate to play all of his own compositions which indicates that even by today’s standards he must have been a formidable guitarist.
		Sor needs immense care and affection, and if one invests his music with that, I can’t see how anybody can object to it”.

	Fernando Sor at AllExperts
		Fernando Sor (baptized Joseph Fernando Macari Sors or JosÃ© Fernando Macarurio Sors February 14, 1778 – July 10, 1839) was a Spanish guitarist and composer, born in Barcelona.
		Born to a fairly well-off family, Sor was descended from a long line of career soldiers, and intended to continue that legacy, but was distracted from this when his father introduced him to Italian opera.
		Along with opera, Sor's father also introduced him to the guitar, which, at the time, was little more than an instrument played in taverns, thought to be inferior to orchestral instruments.

		The rationalization used is that Sor is a second or third rate composer and that the best of Sor's music is that which is already well known and that if Sor was a quality composer, the remainder of his music has had 150 years to be recognized.
		Another important aspect of Sor is, that amongst guitarists, he is generally viewed as a Haydnesque or Mozartean classical composer and often interpreted in something of a dry, literal and restrained manner because of this.
		Perhaps Sor felt that it simply was not practical to write for the guitar in the same harmonic manner as those contemporary masters of the piano and orchestra.

	The Guitar Duos of Fernando Sor
		Sor's guitar duos were written in Paris during the last twelve years of a vigorous and prosperous musical life.
		Sor's duets are usually arranged in a solo and accompaniment relationship: the second guitar provides a harmonic/ rhythmic backdrop against which the first guitar shines in a solo line.
		Sor's favorite form is again used: a dramatic Andante moderato introduction, theme and variations with a coda, and a peppy Allegretto in 2/4 as a finale.

		The introduction ostensibly discusses Sor's use of the ring finger but omits to relate Sor's strongest and most unequivocal statement about his use of the finger in melodic lines.
		It would be difficult for a reader unfamiliar with the method to ascertain the validity of the author's interpretation of Sor's comments on Example 23 of the method.
		Unfortunately there is a danger that the book leads away from, rather than towards, the equally valid goal of understanding the approach that Fernando Sor had to his own music and chosen instrument.
