Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!!
Another of my favorite of Op.35 is #8. As a personal choice I opted to not make the bar repetition indications since the rondo form already gives us enough!

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!!
@Eric Phillips Thanks for the discovery and well played as usualé I've never read through this Opus and I don't recall knowing any of them.

Re: WEEK 4: Fernando Sor for Everyone!!
@Eric Phillips well done Eric, calm and meditative. I was thinking about playing it 2 weeks ago when YT suggested me Goran Sollscher's version... but I opted for Op.35.

@Wai Thanks Wai, that's because I played every note reststroke!

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Sor's Music!
@David Krupka I think Rick only has one guitar and switches it from case to case everyday
... but in any «case» he has a great music space where he produces great material
