The Grand Solo pour la guitare ou la lyre by Fernando Sor (1778-1839) is one of this Catalan composer s best-known and most frequently performed works for the guitar. Since its very first edition (1810-11) the piece has been the subject of multiple versions and revisions; many of them published. This volume presents one of the earliest of these; published in Paris between 1811 and 1812 by the guitarist and publisher Pierre-Joseph Porro; an exemplar of which was discovered in the 1980s and which now appears for the first time in a modern edition; accompanied by a facsimile of the original publication upon which it is based. With its own distinctly detailed and informative notation; the Porro edition of the Grand Solo represents a fundamental stage in the evolution of this immensely popular piece.
