[Mr5stevenr]

Seemingly infinite attention to tone and contrast! Really a fine performance.

@Mr5stevenr Thank you for your encouragemrnt. I do hope to upload some more wonderful Sor's studies once in a while. Sor's compositions are well composed. He knows the characteristics of guitar profoundly. From Tokyo, lute323.

@KlodeB92 I am glad to know you like the pizzicato. I am also in favor with the pizzicato. I do not know any Sor's compostions for guitar in which he assigned pizzicato, anyway I though that just repetitions in this study is lengthy. Thank you for your support. From lute323 in Tokyo.

Beautiful Mr Lute.

It is one of my favs by Sor, but too difficult for me. I like the pizzicato effect...it really works.

Thank you sir.

@Gangly1 Thank you for comment. I am sure that you can play this much better than I did. I practiced most of Sor's 20 studies edited by Segovia while I was in Oregon USA. Once every month I visited the house of my private guitar teacher, James Kline, he taught me how to sing on the guitar. That was helpful for me. The other day a classmates of mine played Beethoven's piano sonata No.31, which inspired me to play something like piano sonata. The result is this recording. Best regards, from Tokyo

@SabMei1 I am very glad to know that my video made you smile. As kei196901131　pointed out, this piece is rather long to play and sound monotonous when we stick to play as Sor originally composed. I dare to try use pizzicato when I repeat the same melody. To my knowledge nobody have ever tried this. Best wishes, from freezing Tokyo.

Loved the art work and of course I enjoyed your guitar as well. I love listening to Sor's music.

@carpeguitarra Sor's guitar peaces make our hearts warm and tender. I would like to make classic music lovers recognize Sor's works more widely. I hope that many talented guitarists in the world offer fruitful performances via Youtube to get more and more classic guitar music fans. Best regards, from Tokyo.

Very nice! Thank you. (TS)

@kei19690113 I appreciate your comment. Sor's 20 studies for guitar edited by Andres Segovia are all enjoyable and technically challenging pieces, although I do not necessarily use his fingering nor his positions. This one is No.14 in Segvia's edition.

[kei19690113]

@lute323 I think this tune to be a large work a little dramatically for the etude. Therefore, I also had felt the feeling of boredom because of a little long performance time since before. However, you performed splendidly by a comfortable sense by the partial use of the pizzicato. (TS)
