Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you liked it. Adding some information I would say the most difficult to record was number 20 and that's why I saved it for last. I remember there were some painful stretches to make... or was it difficult barres? I can't recall. Now, if I had to choose my favorite recording of this set I would go with number 21. Greetings!
Working myself through Opus 35, your brilliant performances are both inspiring and frustrating at the same time. How in the world can I ever attain such mastery ?!
Maestros are Segovia, Williams, Parkening, Russell, Bream... Not me. I am just someone who wanted to record guitar studies to serve as guidelines for beginners. But, to be honest, whatever I play, I practice it a lot first. So, I guess, that is the secret. It's all about hard work. And if I can play something regularly good, that means anybody can. Greetings!
It was a dream come true to be able to play these pieces. I know it's not the best version around but at least beginners can use this as reference. Greetings!
Tienes razon. Los estudios de Sor van mas alla de lo meramente tecnico. En ellos se combinan acertadamente la tecnica y la belleza. Ciertamente ha sido mi afan captar algo de esto ultimo en la grabacion aunque es ciertamente muy dificil. Sobre lo tecnico, Sor explica que este Op lo escribe porque muchos se quejaron que su op 31 era muy complicado. Imaginate. Saludos!
Hola, Carlos!!! Pues, aun me estoy recuperando de mis problemas con la mano izquierda. Vamos a ver que pasa. Yo tambien desearia que lo de Coste este a la vuelta de la esquina. Ojala que antes de fin de este 2016 pueda poner algo. Saludos y gracias por el interes!!!
Excellent. I'm studying Fernando Sor's Op. 35, piece by piece. Your renditions in particular are very helpful. I have a CD of Op.35 by another guitarist, but he forces the music too much. You bring out the melody and harmony delicately. Very easy to listen to. Unfortunately, I can't find any CDs by you. Are they available?
Hi, there, friend!! A CD? I wish I had that privilege. But, seriously, I think there are many other unsung guitar heroes here on You Tube who deserve that opportunity much more than I do. I'm glad this recording suits your interests and needs. Thanks a lot for your comment and and for your kindness towards my efforts!
Hi!! I don't know what "ERG" stands for, but if you meant "guitar", it is a Yamaha 131 S. D'Addario strings. I hope that helps. Just a correction: Sor didn't call them "easy exercises" but "VERY EASY exercises" !!!! And, no; they were not that easy to play for me either, in particular # 20. Greetings!!
Hello! I mostly try to follow the composer's notes written down on the sheet music. However, I often get carried away by the music and end up with a different tempo or feeling, I have to admit. Greetings!!!
Hi Juan Leon, very beautifully played and very helpful to other fellow learners as well! :) I have a question: where do you find the names like "Andante in C major"? In my version they are just Etude no.1, no.2, etc..
Hi!!! Thanks for the compliment!! In regard to the names, I got them from the Mel Bay book I use for my recordings ("Complete Sor Studies for Guitar"). Last time I checked the Sor files on the Boije Collection webpage the tempo indications didn't differ from those in my book. Greetings!!!
Excelente trabajo. Aqui te comparto una de mis versiones de esta serie. Me gustaría saber tu opinión. m.th-cam.com/video/C3Bhx5Tr5bs/w-d-xo.html Felicitaciones
Fernanda Sor, Dionísio Aguado, Mauro Giuliani e Matteo Carcassi são os grandes pilares do ensino de violão clássico. Bravo Juan!
You are a King. I appreciate all of your efforts and performances!
não entendo como alguém pode da "deslike". música clássica, muito show
I love Fernando Sor.This is amaizing guitarist and composer.
One of the greatest of all times!!!
So sensitively played and not metronomic, beautiful!
Very well done, I like your playing of Sor a lot better than most big names that have the opuses recorded.
You are so kind! Thanks for listening!!
Another very good series, Juan. You have done us all a great service by providing these integral recordings.
I'm glad you liked this recording.
Your Moderato in D major is absolutely beautiful! Moltes gracies!

Very well executed, I am learning a lot by listening to your playing. Thank you Juan!!

Muchas gracias por deleitarnos con tu musicalidad

¡Hola! Juan. Estoy aprendando español y el guitarra. Muchas gracias por está publicación :)
De nada!
Goed gedaan , Daan
Son una maravilla!
No me parecen muy fáciles en absoluto, sobre todo a nivel interpretativo...

+Juan Leon Hola Juan! Cómo estás?

Espero los estudios de Napoleón Coste algún día!
+Juan Leon Gracias por tu comentario.
Tienes Fb?
Hola, Carlos!!! Pues, aun me estoy recuperando de mis problemas con la mano izquierda. Vamos a ver que pasa. Yo tambien desearia que lo de Coste este a la vuelta de la esquina. Ojala que antes de fin de este 2016 pueda poner algo. Saludos y gracias por el interes!!!

Anybody can make a CD, I would encourage you to do so.
Yes i agree but thanks for the recording
Thank you very much
My pleasure!
Nice Juan. Where are you from...where do you live? How did you start playing guitar? How did you start playing classical?
no 18 is too beautiful
Easy for you, maybe. :) What ERG are you playing, and what strings?
Hi!! I don't know what "ERG" stands for, but if you meant "guitar", it is a Yamaha 131 S. D'Addario strings. I hope that helps.
Just a correction: Sor didn't call them "easy exercises" but "VERY EASY exercises" !!!!
And, no; they were not that easy to play for me either, in particular # 20. Greetings!!
ERG = Early Romantic Guitar. That doesn't sound like a modern guitar! You mean CG131s?
I wish I had one of those!!! Mine is a very "modern" Yamaha CG131S. I bought it 10 years ago.Greetings!
Well you do a wonderful job with that Yamaha! I've enjoyed your etudes very much!
I'm glad you liked this recording. Thank you !!!!
How did you come up with the dynamics in these studies? Was it in your scores or it is your own interpretation?
