Josep Maria Mangado: Fernando Sor volume 3

Josep María Mangado’s Fernando Sor volume 3 is the third of three books about the composer Fernando Sor written by Josep María Mangado and exclusively distributed by Tecla Editions, as a digital download (pdf).

The three volumes together present a great deal of new information about the composer Fernando Sor, much of it here published for the first time, and are the result of rigorous investigation by the author in primary sources.

Fernando Sor volumen 3, la actividad guitarrística en París (1825-1839) covers new ground, namely the Paris years of Fernando Sor from 1825 to 1839, with much detail about the concerts in which Sor played. Particularly interesting are the pages about the Concerts Historiques in Paris which were among the first manifestations of what we would call early music, about the Romanesca that was played in those concerts, and about Victor Hugo’s interest in them for one of his plays, Lucrèce Borgia. Volume 3 has 826 pages and is written in Spanish.
