A very good counter proof of: playing a piece fast and flawless does not always mean "playing good". The important thing is to embed the soul. A very beautiful interpretation of this lovely study. I loved your playing. All the best.
Hi Samantha, lately I fell in love with this little gem by Sor that I watched videos of it by more than 10 artists, then I came across yours. Your interpretation is super, bringing out the emotions that I believe Sor intended. I subscribed to your channel and hope that you will upload more videos like this one. By the way, I personally find this etude very spiritual, having the calming effect on me as the “Ave Maria” by Schubert and by Gounod. Thanks for posting. Have a good performance at your event!
Samantha, your performance of this beautiful piece is simply gorgeous! I'm working on it myself these days and I'm aware of the big difficulties of some passages....but you simply seem to glide over them gently and happily. I love this slow, no-rush, approach you take. Moreover, the phrasing and dynamics are full of beauty and expression. Thank you. You're an inspiration. Rodrigo
Your playing is amazing! The interpretative quality you add on these pieces often regarded as "simples" is astonishing! The melody sings in your hands!
Your play conveys a feeing that this piece is a test of temperament of consistency, calmness and patience in making music - similar in maintaining inner peace in different phases of life. Well done!
Great Samantha!! I am an old man dreaming of playing guitar at a "decent" level but I realize I am running out of time. Nevertheless, I wish I could play "one quarter" of what you play. Congratulations !! and keep uploading more of those wonderful pieces.
Dear Samantha, Twice I have heard you on TH-cam now, playing two works, one by Villa-Lobos, the other by Fernando Sor. Both pieces and your interpretation, have "blown me away" and your guitar playing is a real revelation! Thank you so much. Your musianship is wonderful!
It is a wonderful performance. I listened to the performances of various people, but I was moved by your performance. I was fascinated by the clear timbre after a long absence. Please let us know your charming performances to many people in the future. From a guitar-loving friend Kazuyuki Kurata from Japan
Samantha, you came highly recommended by Linda Louden. Absolutely stunning play delivered with beautiful soul. Bravo! I have of course subscribed :-) ~Jackie
Samantha Muir You're welcome, Samantha! As time allows, I need to check out more of your work. You are an outstanding artist and I love the way you play with so much emotion, too. Have a great day! ~Jackie
Absolutely beautiful! I am not yet ready to play this piece but hopefully will be able in the not too distant future. I love your dynamics and reaction to the beautiful sound created by this piece. Ellen S.
There is a note on the 6th string that is played as an F# by all the guitar players, and Samantha plays it as a Bm, the way it was written. Although it might sound weird to some people, I personally think, Sor did it on purpose and I love it. One of the best recordings of this beautiful piece.
Samantha Muir I like this piece its one of the first I learnt by ear from Norbert Kraft when I uesd to get all these calssical guitar tapes out the library.Nice guitar tone it suits the sor style spanish very un anadaluza.Didnt know it was over 4 mins long.how much is your guitar 3 grand?
Fernando Sor (1778-1839, España): Estudio en mi menor, op. 6, Nr. 11 Étude in E minor, op. 6, No. 11 (from 12 etudes). Andrés Segovia, in his Collection of 20 Estudios by Sor, named this as „Étude no. 17“, but this is a very wrong, embarrasing fact.
Samantha plays this wonderful piece both sweet and skilfully: a great moment! Etude in E minor is a marvelous tune that suggests a divine contact between Fernando Sor and the heaven's inspirations.
For someone to compose such interesting and simple arrangements like this it's easy to assume that all they did with their time is practise, sleep and eat.

Wonderful. Your isolation of the melody is superb.

Wny is it whenever Sor's studies have the number 6 they end up being a hauntingly beautiful eclair of musical tastiness!!
Very nice!!!
Thanks!
Bella interpretación de este estudio tan hermoso. Bravo!

Perhaps the most beautiful Sor-Etude, right? Played masterfully, dear Sam.
Best wishes,
Günter
Thanks Gunter!
Samantha Muir I like this piece its one of the first I learnt by ear from Norbert Kraft when I uesd to get all these calssical guitar tapes out the library.Nice guitar tone it suits the sor style spanish very un anadaluza.Didnt know it was over 4 mins long.how much is your guitar 3 grand?
Awesome!
Superbe...Très belle interprétation
Hermosa interpretación, gracias gracias! En qué opus está contenido este estudio en E menor?
Fernando Sor
(1778-1839, España):
Estudio en mi menor, op. 6, Nr. 11
Étude in E minor, op. 6, No. 11 (from 12 etudes).
Andrés Segovia, in his Collection of 20 Estudios by Sor, named this as „Étude no. 17“, but this is a very wrong, embarrasing fact.
that plays nicely! :)
Bravo félicitations! Très belle interprétation.
Lovely ~ !
Very beautiful......
Merci beaucoup !
Maravillosa.
Samantha plays this wonderful piece both sweet and skilfully: a great moment! Etude in E minor is a marvelous tune that suggests a divine contact between Fernando Sor and the heaven's inspirations.
For someone to compose such interesting and simple arrangements like this it's easy to assume that all they did with their time is practise, sleep and eat.
Браво!
I like Sor ... this "study" sounds really more romantic than like a etude - because you played it with the right sentiment.
Best wishes - Robert
Thanks Robert! I agree, it is too beautiful to be called a "study". :)
Nice!
Bellissimo
Superb performance. Wish I could play like you but I have short little finger and small hand span.
great playing! i ve just subscrived
Hermoso.
Bravo ❤
quelle délicatesse ,Ces couleurs vous seyant si bien bravo^^
molto bello
Brava Samantha
Genial sublime
It looks like you are us in your RH pinky. Is that true or is it my imagination?
Anyway, this was a very beautifully played piece. Thanks for sharing
You have an uncanny resemblance to Carol in 'The Walking Dead'! I think your wonderful playing would stop those zombies in their tracks!
