![]() They are all for voice(s) with piano accompaniment (for guitar arrangements of them, see below). ![]() in Italian, 42 songs in all, which he composed while he lived in London between 18. It is the complete edition of all Sor’s known arietts etc. It has been awaited for over twenty years, during which time many people have asked for this music. This present edition is the first time that this music has been published in a modern edition. SEE BELOW for more about these books, their contents, and reviews. The introduction and list of contents are printed in both books. This set includes both Book 1 and Book 2. The most advanced and elaborate music is in Book 2. With an introduction by Brian Jeffery.īOOK 1 contains Three Italian Arietts, Sets 1 to 7 complete.īOOK 2 contains Three Italian Arietts, Sets 8 to 10 Three Italian Duets, Sets 1 and 2 and the Three Canons, all complete. This Tecla publication includes them all: 42 sophisticated and high-quality songs in Italian for one, two or three voices and piano, which Sor composed during his time in London (1815 to 1823). That is quite a claim: that they have eclipsed all other vocal compositions in Britain for the last few years. Now in 2018 another comment from the time has been discovered, in the New Monthly Magazine and Literary Journal for May 1822, which wrote “Mr Sor, a Spanish gentleman, whose arietts have, for some years past, eclipsed every other vocal composition in this country”. This set includes both Book 1 and Book 2. Fernando Sor’s complete Italian Arietts, Italian Duets, and the Three Canons are presented here in a single publication, but we have bound it up as two books (Book 1 and Book 2) for the convenience of singers and pianists (it is easier for the singer to hold one book of reasonable size, or for the pianist to put it onto the piano music holder, than if the edition had been bound as one single thick and heavy book).
