Introduction and Variations on a theme of Mozart Op 9
Fernando Sor
The purpose of this edition is two-fold: firstly, to provide a logical culmination and conclusion to those who have followed the same author's publications dealing with the interpretation and analysis of Sor's music, Fernando Sor: Solo Guitar Music(in preparation) and secondly to furnish a reliable but helpful modern edition of this essential part of the guitar repertoire.
Editorial Procedure
This edition draws on both the first edition, published in London in 1821, and the second Meissonnier edition, published in Paris in 1826 or 1827. Fingering is supplied in two varieties: that from the original editions (which are largely the same, with slightly more given in Meissonnier) is given in the font 1234 and that for editorial fingering in 1234. Editorial additions are in brackets [ ] and the original pagination has been retained.
