What Would Sor Do? 

OK, enough analysis. Now let's put theory into practice. Below is a reharmonization of the well known Study No. 2 from Op. 6 by Fernando Sor. This is the little study in A major that many of us know as Study No. 3 in the Segovia collection of Twenty Studies by Sor. It made an excellent exercise for myself in trying to preserve the original quality of the study while incorporating more contemporary harmonic language. It's kind of like thinking about what Sor would do if he lived a bit longer. I hope you enjoy it. I find it enjoyable to play and at an intermediate difficulty level. I included a recording for reference and of course the fingering is suggested only.

If you are interested, I just completed a set of three reharmonized Sor Studies for purchase on my Buy page.
