Work & Edition Details
These Six Divertimentos [op. 8] are another set of six short pieces from Sor’s London period, published there by Rutter & McCarthy in 1818-19. Once again it is evident that the set has been planned as a whole, with contrast of keys and of tempi, and performance as a whole is recommended. The opus number, again, comes not from the original edition but from later Meissonnier editions. In No. 3, the harmonics show Sor’s preference for natural rather than artificial harmonics.
In No. 5, the interesting and very carefully marked dynamic contrasts in this March doubtless parallel similar dynamic contrasts in the military music of the time.
The heading for nos. 2 and 6 in the original is “Walze”.
This edition is based on the Rutter & McCarthy edition. The Meissonnier edition has been carefully compared, and it appears to be a copy of the Rutter & McCarthy edition with some inferior readings, such as the harmonics in No. 1 which Meissonnier gives all at the twelfth fret.
This edition comes from the new 2019 second edition of Sor’s New Complete Works for Guitar edited by Brian Jeffery. The Introduction and Index to the entire series are here in nkoda.
