Sor - Op 44 No 13-15
Yesterday and today, I recorded a few studies for my Summer of Sor Studies on YT, so I thought I'd post them here. Before this summer, I hadn't played much from Op 44, but I'm finding it very enjoyable. I've now recorded over half of the entire collection, so at some point, I might just finish it to say I've done them all.
