Fernando Sor
revolutionized the world of guitar with compositions refined far beyond those
of his contemporaries. Sor was a
Spaniard by birth, though he spent most of his adult life in Paris. This set of variations is one of his most
overtly virtuosic works, and one of the most famous compositions in the
classical guitar repertoire. The theme
derives from The Magic Flute, and
consists of an introduction, theme, five variations, and a finale. Michael Cansfield
