Méthode pour la Guitare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Method for the Spanish Guitar is a method for the classical guitar written by the Spanish guitarist and composer Fernando Sor.
The method for the guitar is a book which is not only about technique but also about harmony, sonority, composition, and above all music as an art. It also includes details about guitar construction and makers.
The English edition is a translation from the original in French made by A. Merrick, the organist of Cirencester, and published in London by Cocks & Co. probably in 1832. The first French edition appeared in Paris in 1830 with the title of ‘’Méthode pour la Guitare, par Ferdinand Sor.’’ It is the only version known to have been under the direct authority of Sor. The method was also translated in German during the same period.
