Fernando Sor - Andante opus 31 N°2 - Romantic Guitar

[mjverive]

One of my favorites to perform, and I love how you play it. Great job!

[drdavid62]

Any reason why you 'rolled' all the double stops? It looks as if you are using a lute technique on guitar - which may be the answer to my question. Nicely played however. Thanks for sharing.

hi, very inspirational.

Im also starting some basic guitar exercises. So, can u send me the sheet of this opus N2 into my mail (moonflower_8888@yahoo.com). I try so many times on the internet but look for nothing. Many thanks!

It's simple, but very pretty.

Sounds lovely and familiar too.

Sound like some Carulli, but with Sor's flavor ;-)

Sweet Val! What is Nylgut strings? Can they be used on a modern classical guitar?

Per-Olov

[Luthval]

Nylgut is made by Aquila Strings, and can be used on modern CG (try Aquila's web site) Sounds like gut, nice for romantic music.

saw your post on delcamp - really, really amazing. Any idea where can I find the sheet for this song?

[Luthval]

Hello, on Delcamp's index page, on top, clik on Sor, then look for the list of fac-simile... You'll find the opus 31 ;-)

Good luck !

Val

[sting6ph]

@Luthval thanks :) found it

[CubeableGame]

Very good! Is that a regular classical guitar with standard tuning?

[Luthval]

It is not a "regular" classical guitar, it is his ancestor, the early romantic guitar. Body is smaller, on this one string length is the same (even a little bit longer, 65.5) and tuning is the same. But I'm using low tension Nylgut strings, and plays without nails (because I'm a lutenist first)

Tahnks for your interest.

Regards,

Val

[CubeableGame]

It sounds lovely!
