Opus 35 No 22- Fernando Sor
Grade 4 Late Intermediate
Op 35 No 22 in Bm (Segovia Study No 5) – Fernando Sor (1778-1839)
Exercise mostly pim on Barre Chords
Time 1:17
Many Fernando Sor’s songs are structure as Estudio or Study Exercises. The main goal of these “studies” is to provide memorable pieces and enhance the skill and knowledge of the practitioner. Andres Segovia selected a set of 20 of those studies, each emphasizing a particular aspect of technique, and these are now some of the best known of Sor’s works. Opus 35. No22 is study 5 which deals with arpeggios.
Technique
There are some Barred Chords here, mainly F# and Bm. The pluck pattern playing each note of the chord arpeggios is mostly (pim) with some variations.
mostly pim on Bm chords
Tip
Suspend the bass (mostly F#) by using the thumb on a downstroke rather than an index on an upstroke. This gives it more power.
