Fernando Sor
![A [[Lithography|lithographed]] painting of Fernando Sor, c. 1825](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/Fernando_Sor.jpg)
Partly because Sor was himself such a classical guitar virtuoso—contemporaries considered him to be the best in the world—he made a point of writing didactic music for players of that instrument of all levels. His Twelve Studies Op. 6, the Twelve Studies Op. 29, the (24) Progressive Lessons Op. 31, and the (24) Very Easy Exercises Op. 35 have been widely played for two hundred years and are regularly reprinted. On the other hand, Sor's concert pieces, like the popular ''Introduction and Variations on Mozart's "Das klinget so herrlich"'' Op. 9, belong to the advanced guitar performance repertoire.
Unlike modern classical guitar players, Sor used the smaller, slimmer "Romantic" guitars predating today's familiar guitar standards set by Torres. He used the ring finger of his plucking hand "rarely" and "only for harmony (never for melody)." He eschewed the use of nails on that hand. Provided by Wikipedia
