Fernando Sor, op. 35 no. 17 | Classical Guitar performance by Clara Ciliberti

In this video, I perform Study Op. 35 No. 17 by Fernando Sor, one of the most celebrated composers of the classical guitar repertoire. Part of his Op. 35 collection of studies, this piece focuses on developing finger independence, melodic phrasing, and expressive articulation, making it both a technical and musical challenge.

Sor’s elegant style combines clarity, lyricism, and classical balance, allowing the performer to explore subtle dynamics and intricate voice leading. This study is an excellent example of how Sor transformed technical exercises into true musical expressions.
