This project grew out of my long standing admiration for the music of Fernando Sor. Below are recordings of the six valses of Sor’s Op. 44 bis. (Through the miracle of overdubbing, I play both parts.) Although Sor intended these as easy teaching pieces, they’re surprisingly rich studies in musicianship. With this in mind, each recording is accompanied by a short article on some aspect of the music you’ll be hearing. I offer my performances and opinions with a cheerful air of infallibility. It’s not so important that you agree with my playing or opinions—what’s more important is that you come away from this project with a greater appreciation for this elegant and delightful music.
