First published 1993, reprinted 1996 in a new version including Sor's op. 44 which was not present in the first edition, reprinted 2003 with a new thematic index, reprinted 2008. This definitive modern edition of Sor's studies is the one which was originally chosen by the official selectors of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, and is currently listed by them in their guitar syllabus. It is particularly recommended for use by students. "It is to Jeffery’s eternal credit that he has produced a publication which maintains the highest editorial standards and breaks some new ground ... it is without hesitation that I recommend this latest offering from a first-rate specialist publisher" (Classical Guitar). "This is a very fine book" (Soundboard, 1997). More comments about this book, from guitarists who have used it. MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS BOOK BELOW.

This book contains all Sor’s famous studies, lessons, and exercises for guitar complete in one book (opus numbers 6, 29, 31, 35, 44, and 60, complete). It includes all the well-known twenty studies which Andrés Segovia edited (see table of concordance with Segovia's twenty studies), and all the studies, lessons, and exercises by Sor which are now prescribed by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in their guitar syllabus, but every piece is newly edited by Brian Jeffery directly from the original editions. You can consult the thematic index if you like (pdf files) for the
whole collection: The edition is Urtext and contains all the pieces in one book. It scrupulously takes into account the many textual problems which the original editions presented, in order to make this both a reliable edition for study and a thoroughly practical one for concert performance. A particular feature of this edition is that there are commentaries on the individual pieces based on Sor’s own ideas and intentions as expressed in his Method, with many quotations which are directly relevant to individual studies. It is an established major standard edition for teachers and students, and is available at a price accessible to students. This is a fully authentic edition as far as fingering is concerned, in that the only fingering given is Sor's own (very practical, it may be said). No modern fingering is added as it is in other editions.
[June 2002] In 1994 I wrote an article on the terminology of Sor's original titles: Studio (op. 6), Études (op. 29), Exercises (op. 35), and Giuliani's Studio (op. 1), etc. The article was published in the EGTA Journal and is now available on the EGTA website.
