Michelle Mooney #1137114. Published by Michelle Mooney (A0.1565039).Sor's opus 6 was composed around 1816 whilst living in London. The studies were composed prior to his famous Méthode pour la guitar, but anticipate the pedagogical strength he demonstrated as a famous and influential guitarist and composer of the Romantic era.
Together with Mauro Giuliani and Ferdinando Carulli Sor helped the guitar to be regarded not simply as a folk instrument used to accompany singers, but as a solo instrument in its own right. Later guitarists such as Andre Segovia and Agustin Barrios Mangoré strengthened this perception, to the point today where the spanish-style guitar, developed in size and volume by Fransciso Tarrega, is regarded as an instrument in par with other more traditional concert instruments.
This study demonstrates Sor's melodic awareness as a singer and writer of vocal works, irrepressibly sweeping the melody from a poignant, gentle beginning in the minor key, through a passionate solilyquy and on through a change to the major key before leading to a peaceful finish.
