Sor | Étude 24 in E minor, op. 29 | Patrik Kleemola on Louis Panormo (1838)

" To claim that one can perform all that is imaginable in music on one instrument, is, in my opinion, to not know the instrument. The piano, which offers such a wealth of resources, could not render the effect of my twenty-fourth study for guitar without changing the texture, because the texture of that study does not lie within the normal fingering for the keyboard." Fernando Sor (Méthode pour la guitare, 1830) What I think Sor captures in the last étude of 24 Ètudes (op. 6 and op. 29) is something very essential of the nature of the guitar in the zeitgeist of Romanticism. Indeed it's hard to imagine this particular piece of music sounds more beautiful on any other instrument. -------- Fernando Sor (1778-1839) Étude 24 in E minor op. 29 Patrik Kleemola, guitar Guitar: Louis Panormo (1838) Microphones: Stereo pair of DPA 4011a Cardioid microphones Audio interface: Prism Sound Atlas Videocameras: Canon EOS 200D Location: Rymättylän kirkko Produced by Patrik Kleemola www.facebook.com/KleemolaGuitar www.patrikkleemola.com
