Andres Segovia - 20 Studies for Guitar: Book Only (Transcribed) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Segovia gleaned the most effective studies from Sor's extensive canon, compiling them into one album.Contrary to expectation, and common misconception, the album does not follow a graded progression; the album begins with Sor's polyphonic study Op. 6, No. 8, which corresponds to RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) 7.Admittedly, the first few studies following the first are not exceedingly difficult, but before you decide to shell-out your hard-earned cash, bear in mind that this album was never intended to be a beginner's introduction to Fernando Sor, as the easiest studies require an intermediate level of guitar proficiency roughly corresponding to RCM 5.

The studies are all eminently playable and exceptionally challenging.There's the finger killing study in barre, Op. 29, No. 13.The study in sixths, Op. 6, No. 9.The study in thirds, Op. 6, No. 6.Studies in arpeggios, legatos, chords, etc.All the most effective, and beautiful, studies written by Sor in one album.It's often stated, with good reason, that if you make it through this album unscathed, you can play anything.
